Description

Key Properties & Advantages
NanoMOF-Al100’s exceptional performance stems from its tailored nanoscale structure and aluminum-based chemistry:

High Surface Area & Porosity: Features a large BET surface area (typically 1500–2000 m²/g) with a well-defined porous network (pore size range: 0.5–2 nm), maximizing active sites for gas adsorption and enabling efficient molecular diffusion.
Nanoscale Particle Size: Ultra-fine particles enhance surface-to-volume ratio, accelerating adsorption kinetics and improving mass transport—critical for rapid gas storage and separation processes.
Exceptional Chemical Stability: Maintains structural integrity across a wide pH range (3–12) in aqueous solutions, resists degradation in organic solvents, and withstands temperatures up to 300°C (inert atmosphere). This stability ensures durability in harsh industrial environments.
Low Toxicity & Aluminum-Based Safety: Aluminum’s inherent low toxicity makes it suitable for applications requiring biocompatibility or minimal environmental impact, distinguishing it from MOFs based on heavy metals (e.g., chromium, iron).
Tunable Selectivity: Supports post-synthetic modification (e.g., ligand functionalization, pore size adjustment) to tailor adsorption affinity for specific gases (e.g., CO₂ over N₂, H₂ over CH₄) or target molecules, enhancing precision in separation processes.
Core Applications
Gas Storage for Clean Energy
NanoMOF-Al100’s high porosity and stability make it ideal for storing energy-dense gases:

Hydrogen Storage: Efficiently adsorbs H₂ at low temperatures and moderate pressures, supporting the development of hydrogen fuel systems by enabling safe, compact storage.
Methane/Natural Gas Storage: Captures and releases CH₄ with high capacity, facilitating the use of natural gas as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels in transportation and power generation.
Carbon Capture & Greenhouse Gas Separation
CO₂ Capture: Selectively adsorbs CO₂ from flue gases, biogas, or ambient air, aiding in carbon reduction efforts. Its stability allows for repeated adsorption-desorption cycles with minimal performance loss.
Gas Mixture Separation: Separates greenhouse gas mixtures (e.g., CO₂/CH₄) and industrial gas streams (e.g., C₂H₄/C₂H₆), improving the efficiency of fuel purification and industrial processes.
Molecular Separation
Small Molecule Sieving: Precisely separates molecules based on size and polarity, making it useful for purifying solvents, separating isomers, or isolating valuable chemicals in pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.
Air Purification: Removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic gases (e.g., H₂S, SO₂) from air streams, enhancing indoor air quality and industrial emissions control.

Quality Assurance
Each batch of NanoMOF-Al100 undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency:

X-ray diffraction (XRD) to confirm structural integrity and phase purity.
Nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis to verify surface area and pore size distribution.
Gas adsorption testing (e.g., CO₂, H₂) to validate capacity and selectivity.
Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) to confirm thermal stability.

A certificate of analysis (CoA) is provided with each order, documenting batch-specific performance metrics.
