The impressive structural features such as high surface area, highly tunable pore sizes, uniform pore size/shape and well-defined structures give MOFs and COFs a variety of interesting physicochemical properties. In particular, their catalytic properties are one of the most prominent properties. Therefore, MOFs and COFs as desirable candidate catalyst materials have been widely used and studied in diverse fields. They are also becoming one of the most promising catalysts, along with their rapid development in the past 20 years. In order to enhance and expand their potential applications, better knowledges of catalytic properties are needed. In addition, a comprehensive investigation into the catalytic properties makes it possible to justify the possibility of their application in practice.

Alfa Chemistry can provide catalytic property analysis services of MOFs and COFs. Our service aims to provide direction for further catalytic property improvement of MOFs and COFs and lay the foundation for their industrial application.
