Vibrational Spectroscopy Studies of Porous Materials for High Capacity Ammonia Storage

Abstract: The development of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, separation, and purification. We seek to develop highly robust ammonia storage systems for portable applications and request 5 days on TOSCA to study the binding interaction between adsorbed ammonia molecules (NH3) and a robust porous MOF material [NOTT-300(Al)] as a function of NH3 loading. This proposed study will investigate the vibrational properties exhibited by both adsorbed gas substrates and the porous hosts. NOTT-300-Al exhibit high storage capacity for ammonia at ambient conditions (10.2 mmol/g) and more importantly fully reversible uptake, suggesting the presence of specific guest-host interaction. The proposed study aims to reveal the nature of the ammonia uptakes by analysing their vibrational/rotational spectra.
