Key take-aways:
- High selectivities towards desired product
- Significantly less energy consumption
Storing Energy
Besides the current development in the e-mobility, there is great interest in increasing the stability and power output of batteries, supercapacitors and the like. Porous nanomaterials can be used in different ways to support these development, even allowing full charge within only a few minutes.
Read our case study and discover how MOFs can be used in batteries and other energy storage devices.
Key take-aways:
- High power output of MOF batteries
- Wide operating temperature range
Storing Gas
Mobile fuel sources of the future could be in gaseous fuels such as hydrogen or methane. However, the storage of these gases is still challenging compared to liquid fuels. Porous materials such as MOFs could make gas tanks safer and store gases more efficiently.
Read our case study and discover how MOFs can be used in gas storage.
Key take-aways:
- 2x storage capacity
- low pressure systems
- potential solution for long-distance mobility
Harvesting Water in Deserts
Metal-organic frameworks show great water adsorption capabilities, that outperform commonly used materials by a facter of 3. Due to these adsorption capabilities, water can be harvested from dry desert air and provide enough for whole communities.
Read our case study and discover the water adsorption capabilities of metal-organic frameworks.
Key take-aways:
- Capturing water at low rH%
- Little energy required to release water
- Long-term cycle stability
- No toxicity
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
The supply of MOFs and the service of novoMOF are fast, of excellent quality and great value for money.
In our syngas conversion development efforts at Dow we have been investigating MOFs as catalyst precursors. In order to evaluate and compare our internal benchmark on the application at hand, I was looking for a commercial supplier of MOFs. During my search for a supplier, I came across novoMOF, who were at that time a young startup. I wasn’t sure, whether they could deliver MOFs in a professional manner, but they really surprised me: the service of novoMOF was fast and excellent! Within a short period of time, we were able to run tests on the materials supplied by them. I liked the most that the MOFs were very competitive in terms of material quality and performance in our application! And they gave great value for money. I recommend anyone to talk to novoMOF, who is interested to explore and innovate with MOFs.

Questions on metal-organic frameworks? novoMOF has the answers! Efficient, friendly and very competitive!
As the chief scientific officer, I am always scouting for new technology platforms to improve our products at Silent-Power AG. I’ve met novoMOF at a conference in Switzerland and we brainstormed around MOFs and energy applications. novoMOF helped me to set foot on this new technology and to assess opportunities for us. Simply said: “Questions on metal-organic frameworks? novoMOF has the answers! Efficient, friendly and very competitive!”. First they identified promising MOF candidates for our idea and then supplied them to us for real-life testing.
