针对迄今具有最大甲烷存储量的金属-有机骨架(MOF)材料PCN-14, 采用质心分布图研究了甲烷在其中的吸附机理. 结果表明, PCN-14中主要存在两个吸附位, 并且有机配体对材料吸附甲烷有着重要影响. 因此, 通过改变有机配体的类型, 设计了对甲烷具有更高吸附性能的新型MOF材料PCN-M. PCN-M在3.5 MPa下、290 K时对甲烷的吸附量达到了257 V/V, 比PCN-14增加了12%; 298 K时对甲烷的吸附量达到了241 V/V, 超过了DOE标准180 V/V的34%. 此外, 本工作表明了改变有机配体是改善材料存储甲烷能力的一种可行方法, 为合成高甲烷储存量的新MOF材料提供了理论依据.

An effective method denoted as “center of mass probability distributions” was employed to study the methane adsorption mechanism in metal-organic framework PCN-14 which shows the highest methane storage capacity to date, finding that this material has two adsorption sites for methane molecules, and the organic linkers play an important role in adsorption. Thus, a new material named PCN-M was designed by modifying the organic linkers of PCN-14. The newly designed MOF material has a methane storage capacity of ca. 257 V/V at 290 K and 3.5 MPa, which is 12% higher than that of PCN-14. On the other hand, it has a methane capacity of ca. 241 V/V at 298 K and 3.5 MPa, which is 34% over the DOE target (180 V/V). In addition, this work shows that a rational modification of the organic linkers is a feasible way to improve the methane storage capacity, providing helpful information for future MOF design.
