ZIF – MOF – GOF
We produce advanced porous materials—including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), and graphene oxide frameworks (GOFs)—engineered with exceptional tunability, ultrahigh surface areas, and versatile functionalities to meet a wide range of technological applications.
Technical Properties
- Structure: Crystalline porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic linkers (e.g., carboxylates, imidazolates, phosphonates).
- Key Attributes: Modular synthesis allowing precise control over pore size, surface chemistry, and functionality; ultrahigh surface areas often exceeding 5000 m²·g⁻¹; exceptional porosity and diverse topologies.
- Structure: Transition metal ions (e.g., Zn²⁺ or Co²⁺) coordinated with imidazolate-based linkers, forming zeolite-like crystalline frameworks.
- Key Attributes: High thermal and chemical stability, tunable pore size (e.g., ~0.34 nm in ZIF-8), and surface areas around 1600 m²·g⁻¹; robust performance in gas separation and catalysis.
- Structure: 3D porous materials derived from graphene oxide (GO) integrated with molecular linkers through covalent or non-covalent interactions.
- Key Attributes: High surface area with tunable porosity, preserved mass transport by preventing restacking of GO layers, and customizable surface chemistry through functional groups like amine, carboxyl, and sulfonate.
Products and Applications
- Gas Storage & Separation:
- MOFs’ ultrahigh surface areas facilitate efficient adsorption of gases such as hydrogen, CO₂, and methane.
- ZIFs, with their selective pore sizes and tunable surfaces, excel in separating gases like CO₂ from CH₄ or N₂, and are promising for hydrogen purification
- GOFs offer tailored porosity for efficient gas capture and storage.
- Catalysis & Electrocatalysis:
- MOFs provide well-defined pore structures and tunable active sites for size-selective, high-efficiency catalytic reactions and serve as precursors for MOF-derived porous carbons with high electrocatalytic activity (e.g., in ORR).
- ZIF-derived carbons exhibit enhanced conductivity, nitrogen doping, and hierarchical porosity, boosting performance in oxygen reduction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).
