Nanostructure and hydrogen spillover of bridged metal-organic frameworks

Room temperature (RT) hydrogen uptake via bridged spillover is governed by the imperfect lattice structure and pore network in real metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals. The enhancement in RT hydrogen storage via bridged spillover has depended on the development of new MOF materials and also on the control of the lattice defects and pore network structure associated with the MOF crystal, which is optimized by synthesis conditions.
