MOFs for Building Applications
![](/menqin/-/media/staff/menqin/mof1-3.gif)
Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials. Most MOFs can exhibit very high surface areas and large adsorption capacity for gas. Due to their structural and functional tunability, MOFs have become one of the most fascinating classes of materials for both scientists and engineers. In the area of built environment, MOFs can be used for moisture regulation, pollutant removal, air purification, thermal storage, and atmosphere water harvesting etc.
Qin's group has been working on these topics since 2016. The following report contains 10 recent selected papers of Qin's group on preparation, characterization, and applications of metal-organic frameworks for built environment control.
