2025年诺贝尔化学奖公布，日、澳、美三位科学家获殊荣

Core Insights - The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2025 was awarded to Japanese scientist Susumu Kitagawa, Australian scientist Richard Robson, and American scientist Omar M. Yaghi for their pioneering contributions in the field of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) [3][6] - The prize money of 11 million Swedish Krona (approximately 8.36 million RMB) will be shared among the three laureates [3] Group 1: Contributions of the Laureates - Susumu Kitagawa, a professor at Kyoto University, first realized the open-channel structure of MOFs in 1997 and discovered their gas adsorption properties, predicting the material's flexibility [6] - Richard Robson, a professor at the University of Melbourne, constructed porous crystals inspired by diamond structures in 1989, laying the early foundation for MOFs [6] - Omar M. Yaghi, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, proposed the concept of "framework chemistry" and developed the highly stable MOF-5 material, advancing its applications in gas storage and catalysis [6] Group 2: Applications and Impact of MOFs - MOFs consist of metal ions and organic molecules that form porous structures with extremely high surface areas and porosity, enabling efficient adsorption and storage of specific substances [6] - Applications of MOFs include collecting water from desert air, capturing carbon dioxide, storing hydrogen, and separating pollutants, providing new solutions for energy and environmental issues [7] - The Nobel Committee recognized that MOFs represent a revolutionary breakthrough in materials science, with their design principles leading to the creation of thousands of new materials, with potential applications spanning clean energy, environmental protection, and medicine [7]
