Frontiers in MOFs Panel Webinar
Frontiers in MOFs: Creating Real-World Solutions with MOFs
As their design matures, MOFs are increasingly moving beyond the lab into real-world applications, impacting a wide range of industries from energy, pharma and electronics, to aerospace and defence.
This panel webinar brings together leading experts with both industrial and academic backgrounds to discuss key applications including carbon capture, chemical sensing, catalysis and smart materials – highlighting both the breakthroughs and the practical challenges of integrating MOFs into commercial products and systems. The session offers an inside look at the tools, trends, and collaborations shaping the future of MOFs.

Part of a series celebrating 60 years of the CCDC and the Cambridge Structural Database. The world’s largest database of small-molecule organic and metal-organic structures, featuring over 120,000 porous crystalline materials. All are experimentally determined, fully curated, and used by thousands of scientists globally.
