Episode 112: Pollutant-Capturing Pores


Listen Later

In this episode of Science Scholars in Lab, we cover the paper, Capture of nitrogen dioxide and conversion to nitric acid in a porous metal–organic framework. The authors created a new material (a metal organic framework) to help with air pollution caused by nitrogen oxides. Previous capture and abatement technologies use toxic chemicals and are incapable of complete nitrogen oxides elimination. Their new material selectively binds nitrogen oxides at a wide variety of conditions and is reusable. Thus, if scalable, this could be an extremely important development in nitrogen oxides abatement technology.
