Like wringing out a sponge , a metal–organic framework loaded with structure‐changing light‐responsive groups can squeeze out captured CO 2 . Because of the groups being structurally integral, there is oscillation between native and excited states. Pairing with CO 2 capture from coal‐based power generation could reduce the parasitic energy load of adsorbent regeneration.
