Description
UIO-66-C (KAR-F30-C) Technical Datasheet
Key Properties & Advantages
UIO-66-C’s performance stems from its MOF-derived structure and carbonization-induced properties:
-
Inherited Ordered Porosity: Retains the parent UIO-66’s well-defined pore network, featuring a large BET surface area (typically 800–1200 m²/g) and hierarchical pores (micropores ~1.0 nm, mesopores 2–50 nm). This structure provides abundant active sites and efficient mass transport—critical for energy storage and catalytic applications.
-
Enhanced Electrical Conductivity: Carbonization converts the insulating MOF framework into an electrically conductive material (conductivity ~10–50 S/m), enabling its use in electrochemical devices like supercapacitors and batteries.
-
Exceptional Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures up to 1000°C in inert atmospheres, far exceeding the thermal limits of the parent UIO-66 MOF. This makes it suitable for high-temperature catalytic reactions and extreme environment applications.
-
Chemical Inertness: Resists corrosion in acidic, basic, and organic solvent environments, ensuring durability in harsh operational conditions where MOFs or other carbon materials may degrade.
-
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: KAR-F30-C undergoes strict quality control, with minimal variation in surface area, pore size distribution, and conductivity—essential for scaling from lab research to industrial production.
Applications
Energy Storage
-
Supercapacitor Electrodes: Its high surface area and electrical conductivity enable high charge storage capacity and rapid charge-discharge rates, making it a promising material for next-generation supercapacitors.
-
Lithium-Sulfur Battery Carriers: The porous structure efficiently encapsulates sulfur, while its conductivity facilitates electron transport and suppresses polysulfide shuttling—addressing key challenges in lithium-sulfur battery performance.
Electrocatalysis
-
Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) & Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER): Serves as a cost-effective alternative to noble metal catalysts (e.g., Pt, Ru) in electrocatalytic reactions, leveraging its high surface area and carbon-based active sites (e.g., edge defects, heteroatom doping potential).
-
CO₂ Electroreduction: The ordered pores and conductive framework enhance selectivity for converting CO₂ to value-added chemicals (e.g., CO, methane) under electrochemical conditions.
High-Temperature Catalysis
Thermal Catalysis Support: Withstands temperatures up to 1000°C, making it an ideal support for high-temperature catalytic reactions (e.g., hydrocarbon reforming, volatile organic compound (VOC) oxidation). Its porous structure stabilizes metal nanoparticles, preventing sintering at elevated temperatures.
Specialized Adsorption
Selective Molecular Adsorption: The hydrophobic carbon surface and tunable pores enable selective adsorption of non-polar or weakly polar molecules, with applications in solvent recovery, gas purification, and pollutant removal in high-temperature environments.

Quality Assurance
Each batch of KAR-F30-C undergoes comprehensive testing, including:
-
Nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis to verify surface area and pore size distribution.
-
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy to confirm carbon structure and graphitization degree.
-
Conductivity measurements to ensure electrical performance.
-
Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) to validate high-temperature stability.
A certificate of analysis (CoA) is provided with each order, ensuring compliance with performance standards.
Handling & Storage
-
Handling: Use in a well-ventilated area; avoid inhalation of carbon dust (wear N95 mask or equivalent).
-
Storage: Store in airtight containers at room temperature. Unlike MOFs, it is moisture-insensitive and retains properties indefinitely under proper storage.
Packaging Options
-
Available in 1g, 5g, 10g, 50g, and bulk quantities, packaged in sealed containers to prevent dust dispersion during shipping and storage.
