ABSTRACTWe reported the relationship between the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the capability of hydrogen uptake. The QSPR (quantitative structure-property relationship) method was used to find out the factor which affects the adsorption amount of hydrogen molecule on the MOFs. The derivatives which were substituted by functionalized aromatic rings showed the effect of polarization within the identical topology of the frame and similar lattice constants. And the typical series of MOFs with different topology of the frames were investigated to examine the influence of topological change. For the consideration of saturation of hydrogen adsorption amounts, the result of fitting the adsorption curve with Langmuir-Freundlich equation was used to the QSPR approach additionally. We found out that the polar surface area plays a key role on the adsorption amount of hydrogen molecule into the MOFs and the specific value of electrostatic potential surface was calculated to indicate the interaction between hydrogen molecule and MOF.

<p>Using a multiscale approach, we show that applied electric field does not affect significantly the hydrogen uptake of weakly polarizable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Nonetheless, we show that, for large MOF polarizabilities, the hydrogen uptake can double in applied electric field. We propose searching for a novel class of hydrogen storage materials, that of highly polarizable porous MOFs. Hydrogen uptake in such materials would be controlled by electric field, a much easier to adjust parameter than pressure or temperature.</p>

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have significant potential for hydrogen storage. The main benefit of MOFs is their reversible and high-rate hydrogen adsorption process, whereas their biggest disadvantage is related to their operation at very low temperatures. In this study, we describe selected examples of MOF structures studied for hydrogen adsorption and different factors affecting hydrogen adsorption in MOFs. Approaches to improving hydrogen uptake are reviewed, including surface area and pore volume, in addition to the value of isosteric enthalpy of hydrogen adsorption. Nanoconfinement of metal hydrides inside MOFs is proposed as a new approach to hydrogen storage. Conclusions regarding MOFs with incorporated metal nanoparticles, which may be used as nanoscaffolds and/or H2 sorbents, are summarized as prospects for the near future.

Quantitative structure–property relationships (QSPRs) can be applied to metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to allow for reasonable estimates to be made of the CH4 storage performance. QSPRs are available for CH4 storage of MOFs, but these were obtained from Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations which have come under scrutiny and of which the accuracy has been questioned. Here, QSPRs were developed from experimental data and insights are provided on how to improve storage and deliverable CH4 storage capacity based on material properties. Physical properties of MOFs, such as density, pore volume, and largest cavity diameter (LCD), and their significance for CH4 storage capacity were assessed. One relationship that was found is that CH4 gravimetric storage capacity is directly proportional to Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area (r2 > 90%). The QSPRs demonstrated the effect of van der Waals forces involved in CH4 adsorption. An assessment was made of the accuracy of QSPRs made by GCMC as compared to QSPRs derived from experimental data. Guidelines are provided for optimal design of MOFs, including density and pore volume. With the recent achievement of the gravimetric 2012 DOE CH4 storage target, the QSPRs presented here may allow for the prediction of structural descriptors for CH4 storage capacity and delivery.
