  • Methods to enhance separation performance of metal-organic framework membranes
    Patent number: 10639593
    Abstract: A method produces a metal-organic framework on a surface of another metal-organic framework. One embodiment comprises contacting the first metal-organic framework with a ligand and solvent solution; wherein the first metal-organic framework comprises a first ligand and a first metal; wherein the ligand and solvent solution comprises a second ligand that is different from the first ligand in the first metal-organic framework; and allowing the second ligand from the ligand and solvent solution to exchange with the first ligand present in the first metal-organic framework for a period of time suitable to produce the second metal-organic framework on the surface of the first metal-organic framework.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2020
    Assignee: The Texas A&M University System

  • Methods to Rapidly Deposit Thin Films (or Coatings) of Microporous Material on Supports Using Thermally Induced Self-Assembly
    Publication number: 20150246318
    Abstract: A method produces metal-organic framework. In one embodiment a method for producing a metal-organic framework comprises contacting a porous support with a solution comprising a metal and a solvent, contacting a porous support with a solution comprising a ligand and a second solvent, and heating the support for a period of time suitable to substantially evaporate the solution and produce crystals on the surface and the pores.
