Abstract:The study aimed to synthesize a novel indium-based organic framework material with potential applications in clean energy, particularly in methane storage for vehicular transportation. The researchers utilized In(NO3)3.4H2O and H3BTB, acetic acid as template agents, and employed a solvothermal method to achieve material synthesis. The resulting material exhibited a high specific surface area of 2487 m2 g-1 and permanent porous structure, with a pore volume of 1.07 cm3 g-1. And demonstrated a methane working capacity of 397 cm3 g-1 (0.29 g g-1) at 273 K and 80 bar. These results indicate the potential application of this material for methane storage. The innovation of this study lies in the successful synthesis of indium-based MOF material with excellent methane adsorption performance, providing a new direction for the development of high-performance gas adsorption materials. Therefore, this paper presents a new perspective for the advancement of clean energy technology. Additionally, the material also exhibits good repeatability, providing strong support for its long-term sustainability in practical applications.
