Tiny might: Nanoparticles with huge surface area created to capture carbon | The nanoparticles could be used to curb emissions from various industries including cement and metals.


MOFs are promising materials for carbon capture and storage (CCS) due to their ability to filter and store greenhouse gases efficiently.

These super-absorbent MOFs are materials made of metal ions linked together by organic molecules to create a porous, lattice-like structure. Reportedly, these MOF particles are currently being tested in a prototype carbon capture unit at Drax power station in Yorkshire. Moreover, climate experts have consistently argued that focusing on such tech could divert attention from the more pressing issue of rapidly reducing emissions.
