Trapping gases in metal-organic frameworks with a selective surface molecular barrier layer
Metal-organic frameworks are extensively studied for gas storage applications, but one potential limitation is their relatively weak adsorption of gases. Here, the authors report that the exposure of metal-organic frameworks to ethylenediamine forms a monolayer thick cap which improves gas molecule...

Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks are extensively studied for gas storage applications, but one potential limitation is their relatively weak adsorption of gases. Here, the authors report that the exposure of metal-organic frameworks to ethylenediamine forms a monolayer thick cap which improves gas molecule retention. |
