Practical methods for hydrogen storage are still a prime challenge in the realization of an energy economy based on Hydrogen. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline ultra-porous materials with ability to trap and store voluminous amounts of gas molecules. MOFs represent an encouraging storage method relying on their enormous surface area. However, MOFs show reduced hydrogen uptake at room temperature due to low adsorption energy of hydrogen. To increase the adsorption uptake of MOFs at room temperature, the adsorption energy must be increased. In this contribution, materials exhibiting higher adsorption energy and enhanced hydrogen adsorption, namely MIL-53 (Al) and MOF-74, have been investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. MD simulations were performed within the density functional based tight binding method (DC-SCC-DFTB). Our results demonstrate that DC-SCC-DFTB method predicts structural parameters, adsorption sites, adsorption energies and diffusion factors with a very good accuracy, making this method a very powerful tool to investigate various types of MOF. Moreover, results show that the adsorption energy can be increased by incorporation of transition metals in MOF structures.

Good post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Thank you!
Thank you for your post. I really enjoyed reading it, especially because it addressed my issue. It helped me a lot and I hope it will also help others.
Thank you for sharing this article with me. It helped me a lot and I love it.
Your articles are extremely helpful to me. Please provide more information!
Great beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your web site, how could i subscribe for a blog site? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I had been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided bright clear concept
Utterly composed articles, regards for information .
Thank you for being of assistance to me. I really loved this article.
I’d like to find out more? I’d love to find out more details.
I want to thank you for your assistance and this post. It’s been great.
Yay google is my queen helped me to find this great website ! .
I don’t ordinarily comment but I gotta state regards for the post on this perfect one : D.
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
obviously like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to tell the reality on the other hand I will certainly come again again.
You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I feel I might never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely large for me. I am having a look forward on your next post, I will attempt to get the dangle of it!
I am glad to be a visitor of this stark blog! , thanks for this rare information! .
I’m still learning from you, as I’m making my way to the top as well. I absolutely enjoy reading all that is posted on your website.Keep the information coming. I enjoyed it!
I will immediately take hold of your rss as I can’t to find your e-mail subscription link or newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Please allow me recognise in order that I may subscribe. Thanks.
