The image depicts the overall approach of this work to optimize MOF array selection for methane-air gas mixtures. A MOF based electronic nose is modeled via atomistic simulations. The results are used to gather information regarding an unknown gas mixture to quantify the performance of various array configurations.

The algorithm presented in the paper acts as an efficient screening tool for MOF array selection.
