The research and development of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials represents a key area of focus within the field of porous materials, and the purity of the solvent directly determines the pore structure and performance of MOF materials. In the development of MOF materials, researchers have long been confronted with challenges posed by solvent impurities: Residual monomers and metal ions in conventional solvents can affect the crystallinity and pore structure of MOF materials, leading to a decline in the material’s guest molecule adsorption performance. The development of many novel MOF materials has been hindered by solvent-related issues, becoming a critical bottleneck that constrains research breakthroughs. Beijing Yifeng Technology Co., Ltd.’s solvent purification system has broken this impasse in the institute’s MOF material research through its deep purification technology. The system has optimised the removal processes for residual monomers and metal ions in solvents commonly used for MOF synthesis, such as DMF and toluene. It is capable of thoroughly removing impurities from the solvents, ensuring their purity meets the stringent requirements of MOF synthesis. Operating in an automated mode, the system enables continuous online purification and supply of solvents, significantly enhancing experimental efficiency whilst eliminating contamination caused by manual handling, thereby ensuring the stable performance of MOF materials. Since its introduction, the Yifeng Solvent Purification System has become a core pillar of MOF material research and development. The purified solvents significantly enhance the crystallinity of MOF materials, resulting in a more regular pore structure and optimised guest molecule adsorption properties. Issues such as pore blockage and poor crystallisation, previously caused by impurities, have been completely resolved. Leveraging this pure solvent environment, researchers have successfully developed several MOF materials with outstanding properties, demonstrating broad application prospects in fields such as gas storage, separation and catalysis. With its professional expertise, Yifeng Technology supports universities in achieving continuous breakthroughs in MOF materials research, thereby injecting new vitality into the development of the porous materials industry.
