A highly porous phosphonocarboxylate metal–organic framework for hydrogen storage
摘要
A novel metal–organic framework (MOF) denoted as CJLU-L1 has been successfully synthesized and characterized. This MOF was assembled by dicooper paddle-wheel Secondary Building Units (SBUs) and a ligand incorporating a phosphorous group. The structure was solved and analyzed through single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), revealing a framework with two types of cages with diameters of 5.79 and 6.20 Å. The void volume of CJLU-L1 is calculated to be 8130.5 Å3 per unit cell, which is 66% of the total crystal volume (12,321.4 Å3), as calculated by PLATON after remove of guest solvent in the pores. The Brunauer − Emmett − Teller (BET) surface areas also simulated by poreblazer software to be 1557 m2/g. The CJLU-L1 exhibits high hydrogen adsorption capacity at 77 K and 1 bar. This observation underscores the practical significance of CJLU-L1 in gas adsorption. Additionally, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and infrared spectrum (IR) were performed to prove the phase purity of the CJLU-L1, and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) was conducted to analyzed to the thermal stability of the CJLU-L1.
