The development of new catalyst technology is crucial to uncovering energy-efficient strategies for valorising chemicals. Although the designable pore networks of Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) provide a highly favourable environment for heterogeneous catalysis, most stable MOF materials are microporous - possessing pores less than 2 nm - which hinders mass transport. This research will develop novel, hierarchically porous MOF superstructures that will overcome these limitations and serve as platform materials for the development of new catalysts. This research will address future challenges in industrial catalysis and realise an important step towards the commercial application of MOF catalysis for valoriation of chemical feedstocks.

新催化剂技术的发展对于发现化学物质增值的节能策略至关重要。尽管金属有机骨架（MOF）的可设计孔隙网络为多相催化提供了非常有利的环境，但大多数稳定的MOF材料都是微孔的——拥有小于2纳米的孔隙——这阻碍了质量的传递。这项研究将开发新型的、分层多孔的MOF超结构，克服这些限制，并作为开发新催化剂的平台材料。这项研究将解决未来工业催化的挑战，并实现MOF催化化学原料增值的商业应用的重要一步。
