Evaluating metal–organic frameworks for natural gas storage
University of California, Berkeley · Ford Motor Company (United States)
Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks have received significant attention as a new class of adsorbents for natural gas storage; however, inconsistencies in reporting high-pressure adsorption data and a lack of comparative studies have made it challenging to evaluate both new and existing materials. Here, we briefly discuss high-pressure adsorption measurements and review efforts to develop metal–organic frameworks with high methane storage capacities. To illustrate the most important properties for evaluating adsorbents for natural gas storage and for designing a next generation of improved materials, six metal–organic frameworks and an activated carbon, with a range of surface areas, pore structures, and surface…
