  • Achieving simultaneous gains in power density and operational stability in proton-exchange membranes remains a formidable challenge. Now it has been shown that cation-directed assembly and sequential functionalization enable superprotonic polyanion–organic frameworks to serve as multifunctional fillers, delivering both high performance and durability in hybrid membranes for next-generation fuel cells.

  • Understanding host–guest interactions and structural changes within porous materials is crucial for enhancing gas storage properties. Here, the authors combine cryogenic loading of gases with high pressure crystallography and computational techniques to obtain atomistic detail of adsorption-induced structural and energetic changes in ZIF-8.

  • Metal–organic frameworks that undergo structural transitions in response to external stimuli are promising for gas storage, but the mechanisms of such dynamics are poorly understood. Here the authors show that the structural transformation of ZIF-7 is induced by CO2 migration through its non-uniform porous structure.

  • The emergence of thousands of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has created the challenge of finding promising structures for particular applications. Here, the authors present a tool for computer-aided material discovery where a large number of MOFs are screened, with the top-ranked structure synthesized for oxygen storage applications.

  • Metal–organic frameworks hold immense application potential, but their stability and environmental safety remain barriers to industrial translation. Embracing the ‘safe and sustainable by design’ framework would, however, set a transformative pathway to the development of robust, recyclable metal–organic frameworks, ensuring functionality, minimal ecological impact and alignment with circular economy and chemical sustainability goals.
