The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

MOF Materials

In 2025, three researchers, including Professor Susumu Kitagawa from Kyoto University, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to the development of Metal-Organic Frameworks(MOFs).
MOFs feature nanoscale-controlled pores that enable the selective storage, separation, and transformation of specific molecules. Thanks to these unique properties, research applications have advanced in areas such as gas adsorption (e.g., CO₂ capture) and drug delivery systems containing active ingredients.

Here, we proudly present MOFs from Atomis, a Japanese startup specializing in next-generation porous materials including MOFs.
Professor Kitagawa serves as a technical advisor to Atomis, which now has its own factory capable of producing 20 tons of MOFs annually.

About MOFs

MOFs are a general term for materials characterized by nanoscale-controlled porosity, where metal ions and organic ligands form a continuous, regularly arranged 3D structure. The metal ions create nanosized cavities by cross-linking with organic ligands, resulting in a crystalline polymer structure with a high specific surface area.

Key Feature: High Flexibility in Pore Design

One of the key features of MOFs is that their pore space can be freely designed by selecting different metal ions and organic ligands, allowing functions to be flexibly tailored to suit specific applications.

Comparison With Other Porous Materials

Using MOFs is especially effective for targeting specific adsorption because it possesses uniformly sized pores ranging from approximately 0.1 to 10 nanometers.
