The mixed‐metal strategy, by which a MOF framework with two different metal nodes was prepared, was utilized with MOF‐74 for potential adsorption chiller applications. The Ni salt precursor was partially replaced during synthesis with the relatively inexpensive Zn salt. The bimetallic MOF‐74 containing only a fraction of Ni was shown to provide efficient H 2 O adsorption performance, while utilizing the more inexpensive Zn salt thus significantly mitigated the material costs of industrial scale synthesis/applications.
