MOF based materials with these structures can result in enhanced performance in
hydrogen gas storage (Wang et al. 2016).
10.4.3 Synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks
Fig. 10.4a demonstrates a summary of different strategic for the synthesis of MOFs.
The core aspects of MOF synthesis are to decide synthetic methodologies which can
produce MOF of a good metal building units without breakdown the organic linker.
Attention in this work is provided to the selected synthetic routes for preparation of
MOF materials which are presented in Fig. 10.4 (Joseph et al. 2019).
10.4.3.1 Hydro/Solvothermal Preparation
The hydro/solvothermal procedure has been efficiently utilized in preparing MOFs,
because it gives nanoscale structure which is difficult to obtain using conventional
method (Tan et al. 2017; Loera-Serna et al. 2017,). It was seen that one of imperative
factors in the synthesis of MOF is the choice of metal and organic linker followed by
