Four-tonne MOF export is a “major milestone” for UK chemical firm Promethean Particles
UK chemical firm Promethean Particles has taken a major step towards helping metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) realise their potential for use in commercial applications after fulfilling its largest-ever order. MOFs have long been hailed as a breakthrough material with potential applications across multiple industries, thanks to their exceptionally high surface areas and porous structures. These properties enable MOFs to act like molecular sponges, capable of capturing and storing a range of targeted gases. Their ability to trap carbon dioxide heralds an opportunity for new carbon capture technologies, which could help to tackle climate change. Until now, difficulties in manufacturing high quality and affordable MOFs in sufficient quantities for industrial use have limited their adoption,...
