Advanced porous sorbent hold great promises for gas storage, achieving reusability, high working capacity, and great stability. Traditional porous sorbent materials (e.g. activated carbon and zeolites) suffer from moderate surface areas, unfavorable pore size distribution, and difficulty to fine-tune porosity and therefore have low possibility for simulation and low efficiency for gas packing. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gain extensive attention in gas storage. MOFs are attractive for their significant degree of tunability and crystalline nature. Recently, the Zr-based MOF has exhibited remarkable chemical and thermal stability, which makes the Zr-based MOFs more applicable for industrial use. Herein, we have developed a series of Zr-MOFs through solvothermal reactions using functionalized organic linkers. The different interaction with guest molecules are expected, and it is interesting to study the adsorption performance.
