Trapping gases in metal-organic frameworks with a selective surface molecular barrier layer

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...
