Abstract  

The pore structures and specific surface area influence the materials performence to great extent. As a type of materials, Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with structures based on organic ligands such as imidazole, carboxylates and metal cations such as Zn2+, Cu2+ present high efficient gases (hydrogen, methane) storage. Such performance is believed to be able to improve by supercritical drying of MOFs based materials, resulting in MOFs aerogels. However, due to the MOFs gels are difficult to obtain, the convertion of MOFs aerogel from reacting coordinations with metal-compound based alcogels will be discussed in this study.
