have become extensively studied in the field of gas separation. Not only do MOFs have high specific surface areas and porosity, but they also have interesting and tunable topologies.
Owing to the scarcity in renewable sources of energy, the studies on these crystalline porous networks have primarily focused on their ability to store hydrogen for energy usage
The synthesis of MOFs involves many metals and organic linkers leading either to the formation of an acidic or basic crystalline porous MOF network
