Uses

Used for separations (paraffin isomers, alkanes), sensors, and gas adsorption (hydrogen gas)

Uses

Basolite^?Z1200 (ZIF-8) based MOFs can be used in the fabrication of matrix membranes for gas separation processes such as hydrogen separation, and nitrogen recovery. They are also used as fillers in the formation of PDMS based membranes for solvent resistant nanofitration (SRNF). They are commercially utilized as porous materials for the absorption and sensing of pesticides.
