Three porous coordination polymers Cu-3(btc)(2) (HKUST-1) (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) (1), Zn-2(bdc)(2)dabco (2) (bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), and Cr3F(H2O)(2)O(bdC)(3) (MIL-101) (3) were evaluated as methane storage materials. The compounds were synthesized using solvothermal method and identified as pure phases using powder X-ray diffraction. Nitrogen physisorption at 77 K revealed a high specific micropore volume ranging from 0.75 to 1.303 cm(3) g(-1). Methane adsorption isotherms were measured using gravimetric method at 303 K up to 200 bar. A volumetric miniature tank system was used to measure the effective volumetric storage capacity taking the packing density into account. Among the three materials, Cu-3(btc)(2) shows the highest excess adsorption at 303 K (15.7 wt.%) and effective volumetric storage capacity of 228 m(3) m(-3) (150 bar), whereas for Zn-2(bdc)(2)dabco and MIL-101 the maximum excess adsorption is lower (14.3 and 14.2 wt.%, respectively). For MIL-101, the maximum in the excess adsorption is observed at higher pressure (125 bar) as compared to Cu-3(btc)(2) and Zn-2(bdc)(2)dabco (75 bar). (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
