How metal organic framework sorbents adsorb CO2
Scientists from DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology have been collaborating to determine how structurally dynamic sorbents rearrange their atoms to selectively adsorb CO2 from mixed gas streams containing CH4 and N2.
