Study of metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr) for natural gas (methane) storage and compare with other MOFs (metal-organic frameworks)

Natural gas, containing mainly methane (CH4), has the potential to substitute petroleum as fuel for vehicles. However, the storage of natural gas at adequately high densities to fulfil the requirement of driving range is a challenging task. One prospective solution is the use of porous materials to...

In this article, we present an extensive study on synthesis, characterization and property evaluation of MIL-101(Cr) MOF (metal-organic framework) for CH4 adsorption.
