Description

ZIF-90 is a highly porous, crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material, specifically a zeolitic imidazolate framework. This advanced material is valued for its exceptional surface area, tunable pore size, and unique chemical functionality derived from its imidazolate-2-carboxyaldehyde linker. It is critical for applications requiring selective gas adsorption, molecular separation, and heterogeneous catalysis. Key industries that utilize ZIF-90 include advanced materials research, gas storage and purification, and the development of next-generation chemical sensors.

Application

• Gas Separation & Storage: Selective capture of CO₂, H₂, and other industrially relevant gases due to its molecular sieving properties.
• Heterogeneous Catalysis: Serving as a support or active catalyst component for organic transformations, leveraging its high surface area and functional pores.
• Chemical Sensing: Development of sensitive and selective sensors for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other analytes.
• Drug Delivery Systems: Potential use as a nanocarrier for controlled release of pharmaceutical agents.
• Advanced Membrane Technology: Incorporation into mixed-matrix membranes to enhance separation performance for petrochemical and environmental applications.
• Environmental Remediation: Adsorption and removal of specific pollutants from air or water streams.

Quality Control

Our ZIF-90 is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, which may include analysis of phase purity (by PXRD), surface area (BET method), and thermal stability (TGA). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific lot characteristics are available upon request to support your research and development needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
