Abstract

Natural gas, whose main component is methane, is an attractive fuel for vehicular applications. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have received significant attention as a new class of adsorbents for natural gas storage. MOFs are typically constructed by connecting Secondary Building Units (SBUs) consist of metal ions with organic connectors to produce various networks. They are completely regular, have high porosity, and highly designable frameworks. These properties make MOFs suitable for various applications especially in trap and adsorption affinities for various compounds. Evaluation of these materials has focused on adsorption of pure methane, although commercial natural gas also contains small amounts of higher hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane, which adsorb more strongly than methane. In this view, we provide an overview of the current status of metal–organic frameworks for methane storage.
