Researchers at the Korea Institute of Materials Science have developed a laser-induced porosity engineering technique to improve metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). By using lasers to reorganize internal defects and pore structures, the team increased CO2 adsorption capacity by up to 75% without relying on complex chemical treatments. This method simplifies the production of high-performance adsorption materials used in natural gas purification and carbon capture. The process reduces the need for energy-intensive liquid absorption or cryogenic separation, offering a more cost-effective path for industrial gas separation.
