Extracting drinking water from the air in a dessert might sound like science fiction, but in fact it can be possible sooner than we think. The solution can be found in a new material class with exceptional properties - Metal-organic frameworks (MOF), that more and more people are talking about. At Chalmers University of Technology, there are researchers with leading expertise in the field. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) appeared in the 1990s and today chemists have produced around 80,000 MOFs with different properties - a uniquely rapid development. A group of researchers led by Professor Lars Öhrström and Dr. Francoise Amombo Noa at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at
Chalmers, have been studying this area for many years and are often engaged as experts internationally.
