Excavating hidden adsorption sites in metal-organic frameworks using rational defect engineering

Defects in metal-organic frameworks have an important impact on the properties of resultant materials. Here, based on computational screening the authors identify 13 frameworks that experience drastic improvements in their methane storage capacities upon introduction of linker vacancy defects.
