The "nothing" (empty space) feature of porous soft materials is foundational to their properties and applications, and has been a focus of study for many years. Now, researchers from Japan have solved ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D 2) from hydrogen (H 2) at a temperature of 120 K (-153°C) has been ...

Milestones of porous materials with monomodal pore structures (Porous materials 1.0): (a) new zeolite topology, (b) organic zeolites, (c) mesoporous materials, and (d) extra-large pore zeolites.
