Hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide adsorption in metal-organic framework materials.

The role of porous coordination polymers (metal-organic frameworks) as storage materials for hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane and the current state-of-the-art in this rapidly developing field are reviewed. The significant potential of porous materials to store fuel gases effectively and reversibly illustrates the great promise of engineered solid-state materials as the next generations of applied multifunctional materials.
