Thus, if hydrogen is to become a practical fuel for mobile applications a more efficient storage system is required. One strategy for on-board hydrogen storage involves utilizing nanoporous metal-organic or covalent organic frameworks as adsorbent materials. A combination of practical and theoretical studies has shown that pore size and enthalpy of adsorption (Qst) are critical to effective hydrogen storage. Here, we present the hydrogen uptake data for a series of open framework materials with high surface areas and highlight successful strategies for increasing Qst values for room temperature H2 storage based on simulations.enConference item00300199332-s2.0-78649525308168263
