Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) - Advanced Porous Materials for Gas Storage, Separations, Catalysis and Technical Applications
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of highly porous materials formed by self-assembly of metals and organic ligands.
MOFs possess ultra-high surface areas exceeding 7000 m2/g and tunable pore sizes that allow selective adsorption and storage of gases, water, and other molecules.
Key properties make MOFs ideal for:
- Gas storage and separation
- Purification
- Carbon capture
- Energy storage
- Sensing
- Catalysis
Benefits of MOFs:
- High porosity and surface area
- Thermal and chemical stability
- Cost-effectiveness
- Customizable structures
- Eco-friendly production
Applications span industrial, energy, environmental, and biomedical uses:
- Carbon capture and utilization
- Hydrogen and natural gas storage
- Air/water purification
- Batteries and supercapacitors
- Drug delivery
- Antibacterial agents
- Sensors
- Catalysts
Commercialization has expanded significantly, with startups like Nuada, NuMat, MOFWORX bringing specialized MOF products to market across usage areas.
