Description

Key Properties & Advantages
KAUST-MOF7??s superior performance stems from its tailored structural and chemical features:

Tunable Porous Architecture: Features a well-defined pore network with optimized size (typically 0.5?C1.5 nm) and high BET surface area (??1200 m2/g), enabling precise molecular sieving and maximizing active sites for adsorption/catalysis.
Exceptional Chemical & Thermal Stability: Maintains structural integrity in harsh environments, including:
Resistance to organic solvents and aqueous solutions (pH 3?C10).
Thermal stability up to 350??C (inert atmosphere), ensuring durability in high-temperature catalytic processes and gas separation cycles.
Selective Molecular Recognition: Framework design incorporates functional sites (e.g., Lewis acid/base centers, polar groups) that enhance affinity for specific gases (e.g., CO?, C?H?, H?S) or catalytic substrates, boosting separation efficiency and reaction selectivity.
Catalytically Active Sites: Metal nodes and ligand functionalities act as intrinsic catalytic centers, promoting key reactions (e.g., hydrogenation, oxidation, CO? conversion) with high turnover frequencies.
Scalable Synthesis: Produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, supporting reliable performance in both lab-scale research and industrial deployment.
Core Applications
Advanced Gas Separation
KAUST-MOF7??s precision pores and selective affinity make it ideal for challenging gas separation tasks:

Hydrocarbon Separation: Efficiently separates light hydrocarbons (e.g., C?H?/C?H?, C?H?/C?H?) via size exclusion and molecular interactions, critical for purifying olefins in petrochemical processing.
Toxic Gas Removal: Selectively captures harmful gases (e.g., H?S, SO?) from industrial streams or natural gas, protecting equipment and reducing environmental emissions.
CO? Capture & Utilization: Adsorbs CO? with high selectivity from flue gases or ambient air, enabling carbon capture for storage or conversion into value-added chemicals.
Catalysis & Fine Chemical Synthesis
Selective Catalytic Reactions: Facilitates precision organic transformations, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and cross-coupling reactions, with high enantioselectivity??ideal for pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
CO? Conversion: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst support for converting CO? into fuels (e.g., methanol) or chemicals (e.g., cyclic carbonates), supporting sustainable carbon utilization.
Green Catalysis: Enables reactions under mild conditions (reduced temperature/pressure), reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste compared to traditional catalytic systems.
