• ITMO Physicists Suggest Method for Mass Production of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Sensors

  …ructures fit for various applications, such as gas catalysis, adsorption, and storage. For instance, a promising application of MOFs is as gas sensors; these devices are used in production and at labs to detect leakages of harmful gasses.  MOFs can be manufactured to have a high optical feedback – and such structures are what scientists at ITMO focus on. According…
