Advances in chemistry of CALF-20, a metal-organic framework for industrial gas applications.

Abstract

The metal-organic framework CALF-20 is a super-stable adsorbent utilised for carbon dioxide capture and storage in cement plants. Furthermore, recent findings suggest its potential for various gas-related applications. In this brief review, we summarise ten years of research on CALF-20, emphasising its historical background and key findings. We discuss its flexibility, stability, processability, and tunability, detailing how these properties contribute to advancements in CALF-20 chemistry. We believe that this information will provide a better understanding of CALF-20 and assist in evaluating the potential of both novel and existing materials for gas-related applications.
