Hydrogen storage metal-organic frameworks: From design to synthesis

Abstract

For many years, there has been great interest in metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. MOFs are a family of crystalline hybrid organic-inorganic compounds made up of strong coordination interactions connecting metal molecules to organic ligands. Due to their vast specific surface area, structural diversity, and adjustable pore size and functionality, they are highly advantageous in a variety of applications, including hydrogen storage. As a result, MOFs have been thoroughly researched. This study examines the drawbacks of traditional hydrogen storage methods before concentrating on MOFs’ potential as a cutting-edge material to get around these issues. The work also illustrates the benefits of MOFs in enhancing hydrogen adsorption performance by examining the synthesis techniques, functionalization tuning strategies, and their use with metal nanoparticle composites. Simultaneously, the significance of fine-tuning the functionalization and optimizing the performance of MOFs is underscored, and their potential to foster hydrogen-based economic growth is anticipated.
