Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystalline porous materials have emerged as a fascinating area of research with significant potential. These materials, including advanced zeolites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), possess unique structural features such as in their ordered porosity and large surface areas.
In the context of intelligent manufacturing, advanced techniques are being developed to precisely control the synthesis of these materials. This involves using computational design to predict and optimize their structures for specific applications. For example, in gas storage and separation, the intelligent manufacturing of crystalline porous materials can lead to more efficient adsorbents with tailored pore sizes and chemistries.
Furthermore, the applications of these materials are far-reaching. In the energy sector, they can be used for gas storage and fuel cell applications. In environmental remediation, they can selectively remove pollutants from air and water. In the future, intelligent manufacturing will play a crucial role in further enhancing the performance of these materials. It will enable the production of customized porous materials with enhanced stability, selectivity, and reactivity, thus opening new avenues for solving complex global challenges related to energy, environment, and health. This Special Issue aims to gather the latest research in this exciting intersection of intelligent manufacturing and crystalline porous materials, with a view to driving innovation and progress in the field.
