A Mesh‐Adjustable Molecular Sieve for General Use in Gas Separation

Abstract

Storage space: A mesh-adjustable molecular sieve (MAMS), based on a graphitic metal–organic framework obtained by the packing of trilayers, has been prepared and characterized. The MAMS can separate any two or more gases with kinetic diameters between 2.9 and 5.0 Å through temperature-controlled molecular gating to hydrophobic gas-storage chambers (see picture).
