UiO-66 is a Zirconium-based MOF featuring high porosity. It shows also high thermal stability (decomposition above 500°) and high stability in water and against various acids (Acetone, benzene and DMF). UiO-66 is very versatile in its functionalisation and application.

Application

  • Water adsorption
  • Removal of arsenic from waste water
  • Removal of Ammonia from water
  • Gas adsorption and storage:
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Methane (CH4)
    • Nitrogen (N2)
  • Gas detection (electrochemical sensor)
  • Neutralisation of nerve gas (chemical warfare)
  • Drug delivery
