Hydrogen Adsorption in Ultramicroporous Metal-Organic Frameworks Featuring Silent Open Metal Sites
ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES(2023)
Abstract
In this study, we utilized an ultramicroporous metal-organic framework (MOF) named [Ni-3(pzdc)(2)(ade)(2)(H2O)(4)]2.18H(2)O (where H(3)pzdc represents pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid and ade represents adenine) for hydrogen (H-2) adsorption. Upon activation, [Ni-3(pzdc)(2)(ade)(2)] was obtained, and in situ carbon monoxide loading by transmission infrared spectroscopy revealed the generation of open Ni(II) sites. The MOF displayed a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 160 m(2)/g and a pore size of 0.67 nm. Hydrogen adsorption measurements conducted on this MOF at 77 K showed a steep increase in uptake (up to 1.93 mmol/g at 0.04 bar) at low pressure, reaching a H-2 uptake saturation at 2.11 mmol/g at similar to 0.15 bar. The affinity of this MOF for H-2 was determined to be 9.7 +/- 1.0 kJ/mol. In situ H-2 loading experiments supported by molecular simulations confirmed that H-2 does not bind to the open Ni(II) sites of [Ni-3(pzdc)(2)(ade)(2)], and the high affinity of the MOF for H-2 is attributed to the interplay of pore size, shape, and functionality.
