About MOFs
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with versatile functionalities.
MOF, a porous material crafted from metal ions and organic ligands, features jungle gym-like cavities. Unlike conventional materials like zeolites and activated carbons, MOFs’ structures can be easily tailored. This adaptability allows for the synthesis of MOFs optimized for specific applications, such as selectively capturing CO2 from the air while simplifying the regeneration process. MOFs effectively eliminate the challenges posed by easily diffusing and mixing gases, establishing them as a cornerstone material in the emerging era of gaseous resource utilization, replacing traditional petroleum sources.
01
Flexibility in Structural Design
MOFs has a remarkable flexibility in structural design, enabling the synthesis of new MOFs with ease. Synthesizing MOFs involves a straightforward process of mixing metal ions and organic ligands in a test tube. The structural possibilities are virtually limitless, dictated only by the choice of metal ions and organic ligands. With the ability to design MOF cavities before synthesis, tailoring MOFs to specific targets becomes an uncomplicated endeavor.
02
Exceptional Storage Capacity
MOFs exhibit approximately three times the storage capacity of other porous materials, thanks to numerous nano-sized pores. This unique feature allows for the safe and high-density storage and transportation of gases that tend to mix and diffuse easily. MOFs play a crucial role in overcoming the challenges associated with handling low-density gases
03
Ease of Transport and Processing
As a powdery substance, MOF is easily transportable. Its functionality remains intact after processing, enabling compression into pellets or blending with fibers for the fabrication of filters. We develop MOF-incorporated devices by molding MOF, expanding its applications beyond its powdered form
