Abstract

The synthetic scalability of water harvesting metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is crucial for making these promising materials accessible and widely available for use in household devices. Herein, we present a facile, sustainable, and high-yield synthesis method to produce a series of water-harvesting MOFs, including MOF-303, CAU-23, MIL-160, MOF-313, CAU-10, and Al-fumarate. Using readily available reactants and water as the only solvent, we were able to synthesize these materials at the kilogram scale in a 200 L batch reactor with yields of 84–96% and space-time yields of 238–305 kg/day/m3 under optimized reaction conditions. We also show that our procedure preserves framework crystallinity, porosity, and water-harvesting performance of the MOFs synthesized at scale.
