Abstract
The storage of hydrogen is key to its applications. Developing adsorbent materials with high volumetric and gravimetric storage capacities, both of which are essential for the efficient use of hydrogen as a fuel, is challenging. Here we report a controlled catenation strategy in hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (RP-H100 and RP-H101) that depends on multiple hydrogen bonds to guide catenation in a point-contact manner, resulting in high volumetric and gravimetric surface areas, robustness and ideal pore diameters (~1.2–1.9 nm) for hydrogen storage. This approach involves assembling nine imidazole-annulated triptycene hexaacids into a secondary hexagonal superstructure containing three open channels through which seven of the hexagons interpenetrate to form a seven-fold catenated superstructure. RP-H101 exhibits high deliverable volumetric (53.7 g l−1) and gravimetric (9.3 wt%) capacities for hydrogen under a combined temperature and pressure swing (77 K/100 bar → 160 K/5 bar). This work illustrates the virtues of supramolecular crystals as promising candidates for hydrogen storage.
期刊介绍:
Nature Chemistry is a monthly journal that publishes groundbreaking and significant research in all areas of chemistry. It covers traditional subjects such as analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, as well as a wide range of other topics including catalysis, computational and theoretical chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
The journal also features interdisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry with biology, materials science, nanotechnology, and physics. Manuscripts detailing such multidisciplinary work are encouraged, as long as the central theme pertains to chemistry.
Aside from primary research, Nature Chemistry publishes review articles, news and views, research highlights from other journals, commentaries, book reviews, correspondence, and analysis of the broader chemical landscape. It also addresses crucial issues related to education, funding, policy, intellectual property, and the societal impact of chemistry.
Nature Chemistry is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of original research through a fair and rigorous review process. It offers authors maximum visibility for their papers, access to a broad readership, exceptional copy editing and production standards, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests.
Overall, Nature Chemistry aims to be the authoritative voice of the global chemical community.
