research

Over the past 15 years, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) has been the subject of intense efforts in research and development, both in the laboratory and on the industrial scale. Why?

Awarded 12.5 Mill KR

ProfMOF is proud to announce that we have received a 12,5 million NOK award from the Norwegian Research Council for our development project.

Get in touch

ProfMOF is currently working on bringing excellent MOFs to the market. In order to do so, we partner up with different industry actors to develop and test our MOFs.

What are MOFs?

Metal-Organic Frameworks are crystalline, hybrid materials containing metal ions and organic molecules

The unique features of MOFs, such as their large surface-areas and diversity of structures, makes the them suitable to a broad range of industrial processes.

ProfMOF can provide a you with a variety of zirconium MOFs to meet the needs of your R&D program or industrial application immediately.

News from our research

A small collection of our research. Metal organic frameworks articles. News and more..

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of nanotechnology materials suitable to a broad range of industrial processes.
As we continuously identify new uses and applications for Metal Organic Frameworks, testing and verification become increasingly important.
The structure and properties of two new UiO-67-type metal–organic frameworks, along with their linker synthesis and powder and single crystal synthesis, are presented.
