Efficient COF Synthesis for High-Capacity Methane Storage
A Process for Synthesis of Porous Crystalline Covalent Organic Framework for CH4 Storage
Tags: CSIR Labs, India, Energy & Environment
CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory [CSIR-NCL]: This technology involves a bulk synthesis process for creating porous crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) specifically designed for CH4 (methane) storage. The COFs, synthesized from 1,3,5-triformyl phloroglucinol-based compounds such as Tp-Azo and Tp-Azo-BD(Me)2, offer enhanced methane gas uptake, high crystallinity, and large surface area. These properties make the COFs suitable for applications in efficient methane storage, potentially benefiting industries focused on energy storage and gas separation.
