Alfa Chemistry - Hydrogen Storage by Using MOFs

MOFs can be used in hydrogen storage in two directions: cryo-temperature and room temperature hydrogen storage. MOFs and COFs have high surface areas which provide higher gas uptake place. The positions of surface cages and channels of MOFs and COFs provide Van der Waals interactions with hydrogen. The two point makes MOFs and COFs to store hydrogen very well and a simultaneous high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities can be achieved in MOFs and COFs. What is noteworthy is that the open metal sites of MOFs can enhance the interactions between MOF and H2, further improving the interactions between MOF and H2.
