Article Synopsis
- * Adsorbed natural gas systems can store methane in porous materials at safe conditions, yet there are issues with creating high-capacity systems and managing temperature fluctuations during the gas's adsorption and desorption.
- * The study demonstrates that flexible metal-organic frameworks can optimize methane storage by undergoing structural phase transitions, leading to higher capacity and better heat management, outperforming traditional adsorbents.
In any process, the heat exchanged is an essential property required in its development. Whilst the work related to structural transitions of some flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been quantified and linked with potential applications such as molecular springs or shock absorbers, the heat related to such transitions has never been directly measured. This has now been carried out with MIL-53(Al) using specifically devised calorimetry experiments.
