Hydrophilic porous materials are recognized as very promising for water‐sorption‐based energy storage and transformation. In this study, a porous, zeolite‐like aluminophosphate with LTA (Linde Type A) topology is inspected an energy‐storage material. The study motivated by the material's high predicted pore volume. According to sorption calorimetric tests, outperforms all other metal‐organic tested so far. It adsorbs water in extremely narrow relative‐pressure interval (0.10 < p / 0 0.15)...

A two-step procedure for preparation of LiMnPO4 with small particle size (15–20 nm) and embedded in a carbon matrix is presented. The crucial point that prevents excessive growth the avoidance lithium first firing step, so Mn2P2O7 particles are obtained. Because matrix, also cannot grow second which involves lithiation heating to 700 °C argon. prepared shows high theoretical capacity (up 95% value) stable cycling (>130 mAh/g, even after 100 cycles at 55 rate C/20). At room temperature using...
Structural dynamics of Ca(BDC)(DMF)(H2O) with rhombic-shaped channels and 44 net topology upon heating hydration were elucidated by using complementary methods diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy (FT-IR, MAS NMR, EXAFS, XANES). During the framework underwent structural changes in two steps. The first change at 150 °C includes breaking Ca–O bonds H2O DMF molecules. In this step, is removed from surface or near crystals. affected parts crystals are transformed to a new nonporous Ca-BDC(400) phase...
The high structural and compositional flexibility of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) shows their great potential for CO2 capture utilization in accordance with the environmental guidelines low-carbon technology developments.
