Researchers at Koç University used a combined molecular simulation and machine learning framework to rapidly screen over 100,000 metal-organic framework (MOF) and polymer membrane combinations, predicting carbon capture and gas separation performance within seconds. The approach revealed many candidate membranes that outperform traditional polymers for industrial gas separations, including carbon dioxide capture and hydrogen purification.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Data-driven screening has opened a new window to rapidly find superior carbon capture membranes. If you develop gas separation tech, this accelerates your material discovery and could make your product more competitive.
