Abstract
This invention provides, but is not limited to, methods of using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with open metal sites for acetylene storage. Also provided are compositions and materials comprising MOFs with open metal sites and acetylene, e.g., an acetylene storage material comprising HKUST-1 and acetylene.
Claims5
A method of storing acetylene comprising:
- (a) obtaining a metal-organic framework (MOF), wherein the MOF is HKUST-1 or MOF-505;
- and
- (b) combining the MOF with acetylene, wherein the acetylene is stored at a pressure greater than 0.2 MPa at room temperature.
A method of storing acetylene comprising:
- (a) obtaining a metal-organic framework (MOF), wherein the MOF is HKUST-1 or MOF-505;
- and
- (b) combining the MOF with acetylene, wherein the acetylene is stored at a pressure between about 15.0 MPa and 19.3 MPa at 295K.
A method of storing acetylene comprising:
- (a) obtaining a metal-organic framework (MOF), wherein the MOF is HKUST-1 or MOF-505;
- and
- (b) combining the MOF with acetylene, where the acetylene is absorbed by the MOF in an amount greater than 100 cm3/g at 295 K and 1 atm of acetylene pressure.
