- This paper reports the synthesis and extensive characterisation of a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, that for the first time reaches the US Department of Energy's storage target for adsorbed natural gas. The technology gives natural gas vehicles new momentum to move past their gasoline-powered rivals. The work has underpinned a successful spinout company (Immaterial Labs) and an Innovate UK grant (Ref: 104384, £1,515,926). It has been recognised for its scientific merit, featuring in multiple media articles (e.g. Chemical and Engineering News; Science; Spektrum and wissenschaft.de: see https://www.nature.com/articles/nmat5050/metrics).
