The definitive version of the work is published in the Compendium of Hydrogen Energy: Hydrogen Storage, Distribution and Infrastructure, vol.2 , pp 162-186Over the past decade, hydrogen storage in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has received increasing attention worldwide because they possess versatile structures, high surface areas, large free volumes, ultrahigh porosities, and tunable pore geometries and functionalities. This chapter presents an overview of hydrogen storage in MOFs. It first examines synthetic aspects together with the principal methods that have been employed to synthesize MOFs. The chapter then discusses some of the efforts of hydrogen storage in MOFs at cryo- and room temperature, with an emphasis on the factors that affect hydrogen storage and some attempts to enhance hydrogen storage. The chapter also briefly examines the approach of nanoconfinement of chemical hydrides in MOFs.enMetal-organic frameworksMOFsHydrogen storageArticleLangmi, H. W., Ren, J., & Musyoka, N. M. (2015).
