Transition Metals - From Fundamentals to Frontiers, Souraya Goumri-Said, Editör, IntechOpen, London, ss.272-311, 2025
This chapter covers metal-organic framework (MOF) design, synthesis, multifunctional applications, energy storage, thermal regulation, phase change materials (PCMs), and radiation shielding using metal/metal oxide nanoparticles and their polymer nanocomposites. The study discusses their potential in energy storage, PCMs, radiation shielding, electromagnetic wave absorption, and quantum computing. Researchers are investigating the magnetism of MOFs for application in molecular spintronics and quantum information systems, perhaps as logic gates or qubits. The chapter claims radiation resistance in MOF geometries influences protective coatings, space missions, and nuclear shield applications. High-Z metal oxides and conductive polymers in MOFs produce unusual UV protection paths and temperature control. Next-generation multifunctional material developments are made possible by the multidisciplinary effort—material science, nanotechnology, and quantum physics. We also investigate MOFs’ magnetic properties and possible applications in molecular spintronics and quantum computing. The work demonstrates how MOF spin properties might support logical operations and function as qubits in quantum technologies. Studying magnetical moment-lattice geometry interactions helps this work to open new quantum technologies.
