Methane is well known as a clean energy resource, but its undeveloped storage technology severely limited its usage. MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks), with unprecedented high surface area and highly tunable structure, is a very promising material to achieve high-density storage of methane at comparatively lower pressure and temperature. Guided by structure analysis of MOFs, we rationally designed several ligands, and successfully got a series of MOFs with specific pore size, which have high performance on methane adsorption.
