The researchers tested their materials by exposing them to ultraviolet radiation, heat and an electrical field. Ultraporous metal-organic frameworks could make clean energy carriers. These are defects that can trap electrons and holes, preventing them from recombining and thus making it so they can’t emit light.

Roofs covered with reflective paints, for example, reflect more of the solar radiation hitting them and capture less heat as a result. Green roofs similarly reflect more energy than traditional ones and add modest carbon capture and water retention benefits. Of course, ownership of a clean energy asset brings its own challenges.
