Observation of reduced thermal conductivity in a metal-organic framework due to the presence of adsorbates

Metal-organic frameworks are attractive adsorbents for gas storage and separations, but appropriate heat dissipation is important for practical application. Here the authors use experiment and theory to show the impact of liquid adsorbates on thermal transport in metal-organic frameworks.
