Thermophysical properties of MOF-5 powders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a comprehensive assessment of the thermophysical properties of an industrial, pilot-scale version of the prototype adsorbent, metal–organic framework 5 (MOF-5). These properties are essential ingredients in the design and modeling of MOF-5-based hydrogen adsorption systems, and may serve as a useful starting point for the development of other MOF-based systems for applications in catalysis, gas separations, and adsorption of other gasses or fluids. Characterized properties include: packing density, surface area, pore volume, particle size distribution, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, stability against hydrolysis, differential enthalpy of H2 adsorption, and Dubinin–Astakhov isotherm parameters. Hydrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms were measured at six temperatures spanning the range 77–295 K, and at pressures of 0–100 bar. ! 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Kinetic Stability of MOF-5 in Humid Environments: Impact of Powder Densification, Humidity Level, and Exposure Time.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of microporous, crystalline materials with potential applications in the capture, storage, and separation of gases. Of the many known MOFs, MOF-5 has attracted considerable attention because of its ability to store gaseous fuels at low pressure with high densities. Nevertheless, MOF-5 and several other MOFs exhibit limited stability upon exp...

Effective thermal conductivity is an important thermophysical property in the design of metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5)-based hydrogen storage tanks. A modified thermal conductivity model is built by coupling a theoretical model with the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation (GCMC) to predict the effect of the H2 adsorption process on the effective thermal conductivity of a MOF-5 powder bed ...

متن کاملMOF-5 composites exhibiting improved thermal conductivity
The low thermal conductivity of the prototype hydrogen storage adsorbent, metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5), can limit performance in applications requiring rapid gas uptake and release, such as in hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles. As a means to improve thermal conductivity, we have synthesized MOF-5-based composites containing 1e10 wt.% of expanded natural graphite (ENG) and evaluated t...
