What is Methyl modified MOF-5: a water stable hydrogen storage material about?

Water stable methyl modified MOF-5s have been synthesized via a solvothermal route. Methyl-and 2,5-dimethyl-modified MOF-5s show the same topology and hydrogen uptake capability as that of MOF-5. The H 2 uptake capacity of MOF-5, however, drops rapidly when exposed to the ambient air, whereas the H 2 uptake capacities of the methyl modified MOF-5s remain stable for 4 days. Hydrogen, which has an exceptional energy density and little or no harmful emissions, is currently under consideration as a future energy carrier. 1 However, the emergence of a hydrogen economy requires the development of new materials capable of safely storing hydrogen in a compact and light weight fashion. 2 Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials consisting of metal ions, or metal ion clusters and organic ligands, which are linked together to form extended porous frameworks. Over the last decade, MOFs have attracted considerable interest because of their large surface area, adjustable pore size and controllable properties, as well as their unusual thermal stability. These properties make them interesting candidates for a wide range of applications, including gas sorption, catalysis, drug deli
