Claim 0:
1. A process for manufacturing a monolithic metal-organic framework (MOF) composite body, the process comprising the steps:
providing MOF precursors;
providing nanoparticles having an average particle size corresponding to an average particle diameter in the range 3-200 nm;
providing at least one solvent;
allowing the reaction of the MOF precursors in the solvent in the presence of the nanoparticles;
carrying out a drying stage with a maximum temperature in the drying stage of not more than 80° C. to form a monolithic MOF composite body having a smallest dimension of at least 1 mm, the MOF composite body comprising MOF crystallites adhered to each other via a binder comprising MOF, and incorporating at least 0.15 vol % and at most 1 vol % of the nanoparticles encapsulated in MOF.
