Nickel-based Metal-Organic Framework

Catalysis
One of the most notable applications of Ni-MOFs is in catalysis, where they are utilized for various reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and carbon-carbon coupling. The nickel sites within the framework serve as active centers for catalytic reactions. Ni-MOFs are especially useful in green and sustainable catalytic processes, where they can replace more expensive or toxic catalysts, such as those based on precious metals like platinum or palladium. In particular, Ni-MOFs are valuable in organic synthesis, energy conversion, and environmental applications due to their efficiency and eco-friendly nature.

Hydrogen Storage and Production
Ni-MOFs are being researched for their ability to store and release hydrogen gas, which is a crucial aspect of the development of hydrogen fuel cells and other clean energy technologies. Due to their large surface area and tunable porosity, Ni-MOFs can adsorb significant amounts of hydrogen at relatively low pressures, making them potential candidates for hydrogen storage in energy applications. Additionally, nickel is an effective catalyst for hydrogen production through water splitting, making Ni-MOFs promising for use in renewable hydrogen generation, a key component in sustainable energy systems.

Gas Storage and Separation
Ni-MOFs are highly effective in storing and separating gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and nitrogen, due to their high surface area and tunable pore sizes. These materials are ideal candidates for applications such as gas storage, CO2 capture, and gas separation processes. For instance, Ni-MOFs can be employed in carbon capture technologies to trap CO2 from industrial emissions, helping mitigate climate change. Moreover, their ability to selectively adsorb gases makes them suitable for industrial applications where gas separation or purification is required, such as in natural gas processing or air filtration.
