Lithium-doped 3D covalent organic frameworks: high-capacity hydrogen storage materials

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2009;48(26):4730-3. doi: 10.1002/anie.200900960.

Abstract

Quick on the uptake: A multiscale theoretical method predicts that the gravimetric adsorption capacities of H(2) in Li-doped covalent organic frameworks based on the building blocks shown (Li violet, H white, B pink, C green, O red, Si yellow) can reach nearly 7 % at T=298 K and p=100 bar, suggesting that these Li-doped materials are promising adsorbents for hydrogen storage.
