Hydrogen Adsorption on Metal Organic Framework Materials for Storage Applications

Recent advancement in metal–organic framework: Synthesis, activation, functionalisation, and bulk production

“…Activation process is a post-synthesis process involving the removal of guest molecules from the MOF to fully access the large porosity and internal surface area of MOF, particularly for PSM and application purposes. Mild conditions are preferred for the activation of MOFs to prevent their structural change due to the relatively weak framework-forming bonds [89]. The significant surface tension and capillary forces created during the activation process are detrimental to the framework of MOF as it could lead to full or partial collapse of the framework.…”
