To increase the hydrogen-adsorption capacity of porous materials under applicable conditions, the key is to improve the hydrogen-affinity of the materials while maintaining a reasonably high surface area. Metal-organic frameworks and porous polymer networks were designed, prepared, and functionalized to enhance the heat of hydrogen adsorption. It started with searching for porous materials that are robust and with high surface area. The subsequent functionalization reduced the surface area but improved the heat of hydrogen adsorption. Materials with improved stability and hydrogen storage capacity will be presented in this talk.
