摘要

The need for a net zero carbon emission future is imperative forenvironmental sustainability hence, intensive carbon fuels would need tobe replaced with less carbon emitting energy sources such as natural gastill clean energy source such as hydrogen becomes commercialized. Asa result, this mini review discusses the use of metal organic framework(MOF) for adsorption of methane and hydrogen in specially designed tanksfor improved performance so as to increase their applicability. Herein,adsorption (delivery) capacity of selected high performing MOFs formethane and hydrogen storage were highlighted in reference to the targetsset by United States Department of Energy’s Advanced Research ProjectsAgency-Energy (ARPA-E) and Fuel Cells Technology Office. In thisregard, specific design and chemistry of MOFs for improved methane andhydrogen adsorption were highlighted accordingly. In addition, an overviewof computational and molecular studies of hypothetical MOFs was done- the various approaches used and their proficiency for construction ofspecific of crystalline structures and topologies were herewith discussed.
