Rational design of MOFs, COFs, and HOFs for gas applications

Crystalline Porous Organic Frameworks for Gas Storage and Separation provides a systematic account of how metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks, and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks can be rationally designed for gas storage and separation. Written by Junkuo Gao, a Clarivate highly cited researcher and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the book connects design strategies with the chemical properties that determine framework performance in practical applications.

Coverage spans energy-related gases including CO2, H2, and CH4, hydrocarbon gases such as C2H2, olefins, and paraffins, rare gases including Ar, Kr, and Xe, and toxic gases such as SO2 and NH3. Each topic addresses how high porosity, large surface area, tunable structure, and modifiable functionality enable distinct host-guest interactions and sieving effects for energy-efficient separation.

Readers will also find:

• Design strategies linking framework structure to storage density and separation selectivity for each class of crystalline porous organic material
• Analysis of host-guest interactions and molecular sieving effects that differentiate gas molecules within rationally engineered pore environments
• Coverage of clean fuel gas storage in adsorbents, addressing high-density energy storage requirements for hydrogen, methane, and acetylene
• Discussion of current status and forward-looking challenges in scaling crystalline porous organic frameworks toward real-world separation technologies
• Pathways to rational material design that support transitions toward a clean energy economy through energy-efficient gas separation processes

Crystalline Porous Organic Frameworks for Gas Storage and Separation serves materials scientists, environmental chemists, inorganic and surface chemists, and chemical engineers working in adsorption science, membrane science, and energy-related separations. Graduate students and researchers entering the field from catalysis, computational materials discovery, or porous-material processing will find it a focused reference.
