Abstract
A novel microporous indium-based MOF material with unique 3-way rod-shaped secondary building units (SBUs), UTSA-22, was reported and exhibited high methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H-2) storage. At 298 K and 65 bar, the total CH4 volumetric uptake of UTSA-22 is 174 cm(3)(STP) cm(-3). Moreover, UTSA-22 shows a high CH4 working capacity of 146 cm(3)(STP) cm(-3) in a pressure range of 5-65 bar at 298 K. In addition, UTSA-22 shows a high H-2 gravimetric storage capacity (1.2 wt%) at 298 K and 100 bar.
