Description
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are high-potential adsorbents for toxic chemical remediation, energy storage, air separation, and multiple other military and civilian applications. However, the utility of these materials is limited by existing production economics. A scalable production process is required for the adoption of this material class into next-generation gas adsorption systems. Furthermore, the system integration of MOFs requires tight control over macroporosity and particle size. Established techniques for zeolites and activated carbon do not apply to MOFs, and alternative approaches must be developed.
