ABSTRACT:In spite of the significant progress in the design and modification of materials for specific applications like hydrogen storage, there are still problems to achieve the desired levels of storage. Many MOFs have been designed and have also been synthesized but they are still not suitable enough or can meet the DOE standards due to moisture sensitive nature and the possibility of stability under other operating parameters
Hydrogen as fuel
Lower heating value 33.3 kWh/g= 123 MJ/kg (11.1kWh/g gasoline)8 MJ/L where as for gasoline 32 MJ/L2017 DOE target 5.5wt% = 40g/L volumetric capacity
wide range of Hydrogen storage materials

Liquid density 70.8 kg/m3 at NTP
Physisorption methodson board reversible hydrides

Design and synthesis of metal organic frameworks for hydrogen storage
In high boiling solvents like DMF, DEF (80-1300 C)solvo-thermal,
solubility solvent-ligand exchange kinetics,
rate of crystallizationcarboxylic acids, hetero-cycles containing
nitrogen
Where are we now?To meet DOE standards still a long way to goNew MOF with large surface area, pore volume, open metal sites, embedded metal catalysts facilitating hydrogen spill over have to be designed.
