Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Gas Storage
Long Description
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential applications in gas storage. MOFs are composed of metal ions or clusters connected by organic linkers, which form a three-dimensional network with high surface area and tunable pore size. The unique properties of MOFs make them an attractive alternative to traditional porous materials, such as zeolites and activated carbons, for gas storage applications.The structure of MOFs is characterized by a high degree of crystallinity, with metal nodes connected by organic linkers to form a porous framework. The metal nodes can be composed of a variety of metal ions, such as zinc, copper, and iron, while the organic linkers can be designed to have different lengths, shapes, and functional groups. This versatility in MOF design allows for the creation of a wide range of materials with tailored properties, including pore size, surface area, and chemical functionality.One of the key advantages of MOFs for gas storage is their high surface area, which can exceed 7,000 m2/g. This high surface area provides a large number of adsorption sites for gas molecules, allowing for high gas uptake capacities. Additionally, the pore size of MOFs can be tuned to selectively adsorb specific gases, such as CO2, CH4, and H2. For example, MOFs with small pores can selectively adsorb CO2 over CH4, while MOFs with larger pores can adsorb larger molecules, such as C2H6.MOFs have been explored for a variety of gas storage applications, including natural gas storage, hydrogen storage, and carbon dioxide capture. For natural gas storage, MOFs have been shown to have high methane uptake capacities, exceeding 200 g/L. For hydrogen storage, MOFs have been demonstrated to have high hydrogen uptake capacities, exceeding 10 wt%. Additionally, MOFs have been explored for carbon dioxide capture, with some materials showing high CO2 selectivity over N2 and other gases. Overall, MOFs have significant potential for gas storage applications, offering a promising alternative to traditional porous materials.
