Water vapor sorption in metal-organic frameworks characterized by Micromeritics' 3Flex gas sorption analyzer

The hybrid nature of metal-organic frameworks provides an almost infinite set of combinations between metal clusters and organic linkers, rendering these porous materials endless possible applications, such as methane storage1, carbon dioxide capture2, hydrogen storage3, and gas separation4. Water adsorption5 in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted more attention in the past decade due to the potential applications of MOFs in air dehumidification6, water capture at low humidity7, and water storage8. With more and more kinetically and thermodynamically water-stable MOFs9,10 being designed and synthesized, the need for material characterization by water vapor adsorption instruments becomes crucial. 

Micromeritics 3Flex gas sorption analyzer, recognized as the most advanced instrument in the field of material characterization by gas adsorption, is widely used in research universities, government laboratories, and research & development facilities in the private sector. In addition to the inert gas (nitrogen, argon and krypton) physisorption, static chemisorption, and dynamic chemisorption (TCD or mass spectrometer as detectors); vapor sorption is another widely used and well-trusted option on the 3Flex gas sorption analyzer.
