Studying gas adsorption and breathing mode of metal-organic frameworks by Environmental TEM (ETEM)
EMSL Project ID

Abstract
High-capacity gas storage and separation systems have potential applications in alternative energy generation (e.g. hydrogen fuel cells) and in environmental and human health protection (e.g. CO/CO2 sequestration or toxic gas detection and removal). However, to begin systematically designing next-generation selective gas storage/separation materials we must first develop a fundamental understanding of the underlying gas adsorption mechanisms in current materials on the molecular scale. In this work we will investigate the nanoscale gas adsorption processes in a class of MOFs that is particularly promising for hazardous gas storage and sensing applications
