High-performance materials for gas storage and separation are essential for industrial, environmental, and energy-related applications. Conventional MOFs offer molecular-level control but lack tunability at the micro- and nanoscale. This technology enables rapid, surfactant-free synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with precise control over topology, size, and morphology. These robust, tunable structures show excellent gas uptake and thermal stability, making them ideal for adsorption, separation, and other advanced material applications.
- Gas storage and transportation (e.g., hydrogen, methane)
- Drug storage and delivery systems
- Gas separation and purification
- Catalysis in chemical synthesis
- Optical and luminescent sensing devices
- Full control over MOF topology and morphology
- Low-cost, efficient synthesis without external surfactants
- High thermal and structural stability
- Generalizable for diverse ligands and metal salts
- Tunable pore-size distribution through ligand design
Initial systems have demonstrated promising hydrogen and methane uptake, excellent thermal stability, and repeatable adsorption/desorption behavior. The platform supports further development and customization for specific industrial uses.
