The large demand of natural gas consumption requires an effective technology to purify and store methane, the main component of natural gas. Metal-organic frameworks and gas hydrates are highly appealing materials for the efficient storage of industrially relevant gases, including methane. In this study, the methane storage capacity of the combination of methane hydrates and HKUST-1, a copper-based metal-organic framework, was studied using high pressure differential scanning calorimetry. The results show a synergistic effect, as the addition of HKUST-1 promoted hydrate growth, thus increasing the amount of water converted to hydrate from 5.9 to 87.2% and the amount of methane stored, relative to the amount of water present, from 0.55 to 8.1 mmol/g. The success of HKUST-1 as a promoter stems mainly from its large surface area, high thermal conductivity, and hydrophilicity. These distinctive properties led to a kinetically favorable decrease in hydrate growth induction period by 4.4 h upon the addition of HKUST-1. Powder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen isotherm suggests that the hydrate formation occurs primarily on the surface of HKUST-1 rather than within the pores. Remarkably, the HKUST-1 crystals show no significant changes in terms of structural integrity after many cycles of hydrate formation and dissociation, which results in the material having a long life cycle. These results confirm the beneficial role of HKUST1 as a promoter for gas hydrate formation to increase methane gas storage capacity.
