Since then, the research interest in MOF-801 has significantly increased. This is particularly driven by its promising application as a water harvester which utilises the surrounding humidity to produce fresh water and as an adsorbent for cooling system. Besides, Many potential applications of MOF-801 were reported in hydrogen and water storage, photocatalytic degradation, adsorbent for pollutants removal, the removal of fluoride and poisonous metals, nanoscale drug delivery, and separation of propylene/propane mixture.
The SBU of MOF-801 is a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster in which six Zr cations reside at the six polyhedron vertices of the octahedron are held together by eight μ3‑oxygen atoms. The eight equivalent equilateral faces are alternately capped by four μ3-OH and four μ3-O groups. The SBUs are connected to each other by ligands forming a net topology of ‘fcu’ type where each SBU is connected to twelve carboxylate groups from twelve ligands. It is a highly hydrostable MOF due to the strong bonding of zirconium with the oxygen atom of the carboxylate, acting as hard acid and base, respectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key technical specifications of MOF-801?
MOF-801 features a particle size of approximately 600 nm, a specific surface area of ≥900 ㎡/g, and a pore size of around 0.4 nm.
What makes MOF-801 suitable for water harvesting?
MOF-801 is highly effective as a water harvester because it can efficiently utilize surrounding humidity to adsorb and produce fresh water, making it a promising material for atmospheric water generation.
What are the other potential applications of MOF-801?
Beyond water harvesting and cooling systems, MOF-801 is researched for hydrogen and water storage, photocatalytic degradation, pollutant removal (including fluoride and toxic metals), nanoscale drug delivery, and propylene/propane gas separation.
What is the structural composition of the MOF-801 SBU?
The Secondary Building Unit (SBU) of MOF-801 consists of a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster, where six Zr cations are held together by eight μ3-oxygen atoms and capped by four μ3-OH and four μ3-O groups.
Why does MOF-801 exhibit high hydrostability?
MOF-801's exceptional hydrostability is due to the strong coordination bonding between the zirconium (acting as a hard acid) and the oxygen atoms of the carboxylate ligand (acting as a hard base).
