Porous materials, from synthesis to industrial performance.
ProfMOF helps companies develop, test, and source metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and other sorbents. We work with industrial teams that need specialized development support, and with customers who need a reliable supplier of MOF materials.
What we do
Everything you need from synthesis to proof
PROFMOF operates as a MOF and adsorbent-focused contract research organization (CRO), handling the full development cycle for porous materials. We synthesize custom frameworks, scale production reliably, test performance under operating conditions, and provide independent analytical verification. One partner for every stage.
MOF and sorbent synthesis
PROFMOF runs tailored R&D projects for companies working with MOF materials and challenging sorbent applications. Projects can combine custom synthesis, formulation, characterization, performance testing, regeneration studies, and scale-up.
Scale-up and technology transfer
We scale any MOF synthesis from mg to kg scale. Scale-up projects can involve custom linkers, any standard solvent, and challenging precursors. PROFMOF also assists in technology transfer to toll manufacturers.
Performance
testing
PROFMOF specializes in process-realistic performance testing, both in adsorption processes and catalysis. We're equipped to handle most streams, including steam and corrosive species.
Example
projects
- Performance screening of MOFs for CO2 capture and water harvesting.
- Synthesis and testing of MOFs for mineral extraction.
- Development of sorbents for selective abatement of pollutants.
- Synthesis of MOF structures generated by chemical AI.
About MOFs
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials consisting of metal clusters/ions and organic monomers, arranged in three-dimensional structures. MOFs are known for their porosity and the millions of combinations that arise from the combinations of their organic and inorganic building units. Pioneers of the MOF field were awarded The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in October 2025.
FEATURES
The unique features of MOFs, such as their large surface-areas and diversity of structures, makes them suitable to a broad range of industrial processes. MOFs are, for instance, very well suited for storage and transportation of gases, separation of gases, water absorption, catalysis, thermal management and drug delivery. MOF-structures can, for instance, be designed to capture specific gases and chemicals, while other substances pass through, and are thus well-suited for efficient separation processes.
