Description

MIL-100(Cr) (KAR-F48) Technical Datasheet

Key Properties & Advantages

MIL-100(Cr) (KAR-F48)’s performance stems from its hierarchical porous structure and chromium-based chemistry:
  • Hierarchical Pore Architecture: 0.8–2.7 nm pores, including both micropores and mesopores, enable adsorption of molecules across a range of sizes—from small gases (H₂, CO₂) to larger biomolecules.
  • High Surface Area (≥1200 m²/g): Maximizes active sites for adsorption, enhancing capacity and efficiency in gas storage and separation processes.
  • Exceptional Chemical Stability: Maintains structural integrity in aqueous solutions (pH 2–11), organic solvents, and elevated temperatures (up to 300°C), ensuring durability in harsh operational environments.
  • Uniform Nanoparticle Size (0.05–0.1 μm): Facilitates rapid mass transfer, efficient packing in industrial columns, and uniform dispersion in composite materials (e.g., gas separation membranes).
  • Tunable Adsorption Affinity: Chromium(III) nodes and ligand functionalities enable selective interactions with target molecules, supporting applications from hydrogen storage to biomolecule recognition.

Core Applications

Hydrogen Storage

MIL-100(Cr) (KAR-F48)’s porous structure and high surface area make it a leading candidate for clean energy storage:
  • High-Capacity H₂ Adsorption: Achieves a maximum hydrogen adsorption of 3.28 wt% under experimental conditions (77 K, 25 bar), supporting hydrogen fuel storage for renewable energy systems and fuel cell technologies.
  • Reversible Adsorption: Enables efficient hydrogen uptake and release, critical for practical energy storage applications requiring cyclic performance.

Toxic & Greenhouse Gas Capture

Its affinity for reactive and greenhouse gases drives environmental applications:
  • H₂S Adsorption: Effectively captures hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)—a toxic, corrosive gas—from industrial streams (e.g., natural gas, biogas), preventing equipment damage and reducing environmental emissions.
  • Greenhouse Gas Separation: Adsorbs the primary greenhouse gases CO₂ and CH₄, supporting carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives and biogas purification (e.g., upgrading CH₄ for use as renewable natural gas).

Biomolecule Recognition & Separation

MIL-100(Cr) (KAR-F48)’s mesoporous cavities and surface chemistry enable precise biomolecule handling:
  • Biomolecule Adsorption: Serves as an for identifying and separating biological molecules, including proteins, enzymes, and pharmaceuticals, leveraging size exclusion and specific ligand-biomolecule interactions.
  • Biomedical Research Support: Facilitates purification of biomolecules for diagnostics, drug development, and proteomics research, where high selectivity is critical.
