About this collection

Guest Edited by Petra Ágota Szilágyi (University of Oslo), Jenny G. Vitillo (Università degli Studi dell'Insubria), and Gavin A. Craig (University of Strathclyde).

This themed collection is focused on inorganic-organic porous materials that enable the capture, storage, sensing, and conversion of CO2. It offers a summary of the state of the art in experimental and in silico approaches to tuning the interaction between CO2 and host materials such as metal-organic frameworks and metal-organic polyhedra/metal-organic cages. The themed collection also explores current trends in the development and processing of these porous materials for the realisation of Global Net Zero commitments.
