Metal-organic framework membranes: Unprecedented opportunities for gas separations

Metal-ogranic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging class of new nanoporous materials, have attracted a tremendous research interest for various applications. In this perspective, I present why and how metal-organic frameworks might offer unprecedented opportunities for ultrathin and tunable molecular sieve membranes for custom gas separations.
