Separating molecules by their shapes can purify natural gas

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Membranes made from metal–organic frameworks contain modular pores that can separate mixtures of gas. By changing the shape of these pores to improve molecular separation, we produced a membrane that could remove nitrogen and carbon dioxide from natural gas in an energy-efficient and cost-effective way.
