Nickel Metal Organic Framework (Ni-MOF, Purity: 99%, APS: 30-40µm)

Nickel Metal-Organic Framework

Applications

Catalysis
One of the most promising applications of Ni-MOFs is in catalysis. Nickel ions in the framework can act as active sites for numerous catalytic reactions, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and carbon-carbon bond formation. Ni-MOFs are particularly attractive in green chemistry and sustainable processes because nickel is an abundant, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly metal compared to precious metals such as platinum and palladium. Ni-MOFs are being used in a wide range of catalytic applications, including in the synthesis of fine chemicals, renewable energy production, and even in the degradation of pollutants.

Hydrogen Storage and Production
Ni-MOFs are being investigated for their ability to store and release hydrogen gas, an essential process for the development of hydrogen fuel cells and clean energy technologies. Hydrogen storage is a key challenge in the implementation of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel. Thanks to their high surface area and tunable porosity, Ni-MOFs can adsorb significant amounts of hydrogen at relatively low pressures, making them an excellent choice for efficient hydrogen storage. Additionally, nickel-based catalysts are known to facilitate the production of hydrogen through water splitting, making Ni-MOFs suitable for use in renewable hydrogen generation systems.

Gas Storage and Separation
Due to their high surface area, large pore volume, and tunable pore sizes, Ni-MOFs are highly effective in gas storage and separation applications. These materials can selectively adsorb and store gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and nitrogen, which makes them ideal candidates for applications like natural gas storage, carbon capture, and gas separation processes.

Environmental Remediation
Ni-MOFs have shown great promise in environmental applications, particularly in water and air purification. Due to their porous structure and large surface area, these materials can adsorb heavy metals, organic pollutants, and other harmful substances from water or air. The nickel centers in Ni-MOFs can also act as catalysts in redox reactions, helping to degrade toxic pollutants. These materials are being explored for water treatment, air filtration, and soil decontamination, offering an eco-friendly solution to pollution control and environmental protection.
