A team from ICMM-CSIC developed a mixed-matrix membrane based on polysulfone with a truxene filler that boosts hydrogen permeability by 800% and improves selectivity by 30%, produced via a mechanochemical process that cuts synthesis time from three days to three hours, enabling faster, cleaner, and potentially cheaper industrial hydrogen purification.
Researchers at KAUST have developed a new method for creating tailored nanoscale windows in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) inspired by an ancient architectural technique. By using a molecular version of an arch-forming template, the team was able to control the shape and size of the pore windows in MOFs. This technique has potential applications in gas separation and medical fields, with MOFs designed for gas storage, oxygen adsorption, and molecular mixture separation. The approach offers precise control over structure formation and enhances MOF performance, making it a promising strategy for creating customized MOFs for various applications.
