Barocaloric (BC) materials offer the potential for highly energy-efficient refrigeration by generating heat absorption through effect of pressure on a solid-solid phase transition. However, very few known have required transition in temperature regions necessary domestic or air conditioning. We introduce organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) as new family BC materials. OIPCs display subambient temperatures, so-called "colossal" entropy changes (92 to 240 joules per kilogram kelvin), and...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with their intriguing network structures, large internal surface areas, and tunable pore properties offer the perfect yet largely unexplored alternative for selective adsorption of oxygen.

Oxygen is commonly separated from air using cryogenic liquefaction. The inherent energy penalties of phase change inspire the search for energy-efficient separation processes. Here, an alternative approach presented, where we determine whether it possible to utilise simpler, stable materials in right process achieve overall efficiency. Adsorption and release by Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are attractive due their high adsorption storage capacity at ambient conditions. Cu-BTC/MgFe2O4...

Abstract Oxygen is a critical gas for medical and industrial settings. Much of today's global oxygen supply via inefficient technologies such as cryogenic distillation, membranes or zeolites. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) promise superior alternative separation, their fundamental chemistry can in principle be tailored reversible selective capture. We evaluate the characteristics uptake by MOFs, focussing on redox‐active sites. Key separation also seen MOFs storage roles. Engineering...

Oxygen is critical gas species for both medical and industry settings [1].Currently, the mainstay oxygen separation from air cryogenic distillation.Unfortunately, this process inefficient energy intensive.Over past decade, there have been significant efforts to generate materials that can separate at ambient temperatures.Metal-organic frameworks, which are hybrid inorganic-organic porous structures, attracted attention in area [2][3][4].We report rationally designed metal-organic frameworks...

Magnetic materials were synthesized from sugarcane bagasse and peanut shells with magnetite nanoparticles (MB MP). These magnetic the matrix where a Metal-Organic Framework (HKUST-1) grow up resulting in two composites. The chemical physical characteristics of composites studied.
