High-Quality China Suppliers Factory for MOF-801 Powder Metal Organic Frameworks for Water Harvesting and Cooling Systems Service, Supplier

MOF-801, developed by our factory in China, is a novel material comprising Zr6O4(OH)4 metal clusters linked by fumarate ligands. This metal-organic framework exhibits a topology similar to UiO-66 and was first introduced in 2012, following a solvothermal synthesis involving ZrCl4, fumaric acid, and formic acid as a modulator. Known for its exceptional capabilities, MOF-801 is particularly effective as a water harvester, harnessing ambient humidity to generate fresh water. Additionally, it serves as an efficient adsorbent in cooling systems. As leading suppliers, we are committed to providing high-quality MOF-801 to enhance various applications across industries.

Product Description

Product Name MOF-801
Particle size ≈600 nm
Specific surface area ≥900 ㎡/g
Pore size ≈0.4 nm

Since then, the research interest in MOF-801 has significantly increased. This is particularly driven by its promising application as a water harvester which utilises the surrounding humidity to produce fresh water and as an adsorbent for cooling system. Besides, Many potential applications of MOF-801 were reported in hydrogen and water storage, photocatalytic degradation, adsorbent for pollutants removal, the removal of fluoride and poisonous metals, nanoscale drug delivery, and separation of propylene/propane mixture.

Key Structural Feature: It is a highly hydrostable MOF due to the strong bonding of zirconium with the oxygen atom of the carboxylate, acting as hard acid and base, respectively.

The SBU of MOF-801 is a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster in which six Zr cations reside at the six polyhedron vertices of the octahedron are held together by eight μ3‑oxygen atoms. The eight equivalent equilateral faces are alternately capped by four μ3-OH and four μ3-O groups. The SBUs are connected to each other by ligands forming a net topology of ‘fcu’ type where each SBU is connected to twelve carboxylate groups from twelve ligands. It is a highly hydrostable MOF due to the strong bonding of zirconium with the oxygen atom of the carboxylate, acting as hard acid and base, respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the primary specifications of MOF-801?
MOF-801 has an average particle size of ≈600 nm, a specific surface area of ≥900 ㎡/g, and a micro-pore size of approximately 0.4 nm.
Why is MOF-801 particularly suitable for atmospheric water harvesting?
MOF-801 possesses a pore structure tailored for water adsorption and high hydrothermal stability, allowing it to efficiently capture humidity from the ambient air to produce clean water.
What makes MOF-801 exceptionally hydrostable?
Its exceptional hydrostability is attributed to the strong chemical bonding between the zirconium (Zr) metal center and the carboxylate oxygen atoms, which interact effectively as a hard acid and hard base.
What is the crystal topology and SBU configuration of MOF-801?
The Secondary Building Unit (SBU) consists of a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster linked to 12 carboxylate groups from 12 ligands, forming a characteristic 'fcu' net topology.
In which other chemical and industrial fields can MOF-801 be used?
Beyond water harvesting and adsorption cooling, MOF-801 is applied in hydrogen and water storage, toxic metals and fluoride removal, environmental pollutant adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, nanoscale drug delivery, and propylene/propane gas separation.
