KAIST Shapes a " Templates a ‘Gas Lattice’ in Porous Materials”: The Moment Gas Forms a Crystal-like Lattice

Caption

Figure 1. Conceptual shift from host-only adsorption design to framework-templated gas lattice design. Conventional MOF design optimizes host–guest interactions by tuning metal nodes and organic linkers, while treating the adsorbed phase as disordered and evaluating it using averaged descriptors such as uptake and selectivity. In contrast, gas lattice design includes guest–guest correlations and commensurate packing within the pore as design variables, enabling a crystalline-like, structure-defined adsorbed phase and more tunable adsorption responses.
