Metal-organic frameworks that store 10+ CO₂ molecules per formula unit at room temperature unlock compact carbon capture.
This technology uses a metal-organic framework (MOF) packed in a container to adsorb and release CO₂ through a gas conduit at about 25°C. Its technical significance is the ability to store at least 10 CO₂ molecules per formula unit at room temperature, leveraging high MOF surface area for practical adsorption without cooling. Previously, building these MOF-based storage systems typically required negotiating licensing around specific MOF compositions and performance targets.
Launch room-temperature CO₂ cartridge systems for building ventilation, point-source capture, and portable air-quality monitors.
A carbon dioxide storage system includes a container and a conduit attached to the container for introducing or removing a carbon dioxide-containing composition from the container. A carbon dioxide-storage material is positioned within the container. The carbon dioxide-storage material includes a metal-organic framework, which has a sufficient surface area to store at least 10 carbon dioxide molecules per formula unit of the metal-organic framework at a temperature of about 25° C.
