Towards MOFs' mass market adoption: MOF Technologies' efficient and versatile one-step extrusion of shaped MOFs directly from raw materials

Faraday Discuss. 2021 Oct 15;231(0):312-325. doi: 10.1039/d1fd00025j.

Abstract

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) offer unparalleled physical and sorption properties due to their chemical tunability and unmatched porosity. MOFs are consequently envisaged to play a key role in commercial gas storage and separation applications. However, it is essential to tackle their current market entry barriers, if mainstream adoption is to be realised. MOF Technologies is a pioneer in MOF commercialisation and has developed innovative solutions with unprecedented efficiency to bring these materials to market. A continuous, versatile and sustainable one-step production method of MOFs in shaped form is demonstrated for the first time. Its advantages for large-scale production and mass customisation are exemplified and validated with performance evaluation under realistic operating conditions.
