Development and Characterization of Metal Organic Frameworks for Industrial Gas (CO2, O2 , N2) Separations

The aim of the project is to develop and characterize metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a new class of porous
material that can be used for selective nitrogen (N2) , oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas separation. These
new molecular compounds will unlock a remarkable suite of possibilities for future technologies, far beyond today’s
gas separation applications. In general, due to their unique characteristics, MOFs fall under the category of advanced
materials. Ultimately, the proposed project will be to develop long lasting MOF products and determine their optimal
operating conditions. This will help the partner organization to commercialize the products for industrial gas
separation applications. It is also an excellent opportunity for the partner organization because they can easily access
equipment and other resources that are available at the university via experienced researcher. This can also help the
organization to grow faster and achieve their organization goals.
