The Role of Metal-Organic Frameworks in Carbon Capture and Storage Applications

Abstract

The growing concern over climate change and the environmental impacts of greenhouse gas

emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), has led to increased research and development of

technologies aimed at mitigating these emissions. Among various strategies, carbon capture and

storage (CCS) has emerged as a critical solution to reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown exceptional promise as adsorbents in CCS

applications due to their high surface area, tunable porosity, and chemical versatility. This paper

explores the role of MOFs in CO2 capture and storage, including their structural characteristics,

advantages, challenges, and current research developments in this field.
