The MEMOS project aims to extend the research frontiers towards novel multicomponent hybrids formed by bimetallic nanoparticles embedded into porous solids of Metal-Organic Frameworks for solid-state hydrogen storage. Due to their high surface area, porous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are promising in the hydrogen storage field, mainly at cryogenic temperature. Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) also have interesting properties for hydrogen storage due to their small particles size. Nevertheless, their combination at nanoscale level is a very recent and pioneering research that will allow the discovery of innovative materials in a field that stringently requires technological and material breakthroughs. To our knowledge, the mainstream of reports on such hybrids deals with catalysis.
For hydrogen storage, these hybrids have the advantage of combining hydrogen absorption into MNPs and adsorption on the surface of MOFs. However, for practical hydrogen storage applications at room temperature, the enthalpy of hydrogen adsorption on porous materials must be increased. The exciting benefit of hybrid materials is the possibility of tailoring hydrogen adsorption enthalpy by synergistic effects.
There are various criteria that must be taken into account when choosing a MOF scaffold, such as: the textural properties, the thermal and chemical stabilities.
High specific surface area with adequate pore size distribution for hosting the metallic species, but also for the adsorption of molecular hydrogen is necessary. During the synthesis process and for the subsequent hydrogen (up)loading cycles, thermal ramps are frequently used and should not affect or weaken the crystal structure of MOF. Furthermore, the MOFs should be thermally stable and inert during the synthesis of MNPs.
Thus, MIL-100(Cr), MIL-100(Cr), MIL-100(Fe), UiO-66 and ZIF-8 were selected, synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption at 77.3 K, thermogravimetric analysis, hydrogen adsorption/desorption at 77.3 and 298 K and pressure up to 100 bar.
Hybrid materials based on metallic nanoparticles of Pd and Rh confined in MOFs were prepared and their structural, nanostructural and textural properties were studied. It is for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that 1 nm Pd(5-20%) NPs were confined into a MOF. They are crystalline with the fcc structure of the bulk metal. Their hydrogen adsorption/desorption properties have been characterized by both laboratory and synchroton facilities.(http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2017/ta/c7ta07159k#!divAbstract).
We explored the cold high-pressure hydrogen storage at ~200K and 70MPa in high-pressure tank filled with MIL-101(Cr). Hydrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms for MIL-101(Cr) between 77 and 295K over an extended pressure range were measured in order to evaluate the gravimetric and volumetric storage capacities. The obtained values are within the present-day accepted DOE targets. The adsorbent presence increases dormancy more than twice as compared to the ultimate DOE targets.

Hybrid materials, based on bimetallic nanoparticles confined in MIL-101(Cr)'s mesopores, were prepared, by suitable adaptation of the double solvent method, developed and used in the preparation of the previous prepared hybrid materials, based on monometallic nanoparticles. The criteria of selecting the bimetallic systems were the existence of a large miscibility gap with high critical temperatures (> 1000 K). Thus, the prepared bimetallic systems, based on Pd, Pt, Rh and Ir, were characterized from structural (X-ray diffraction), nano-structural (SEM, TEM) and textural (nitrogen adsorption/desorption at 77K) point of view. Their properties of hydrogen sorption were investigated by registration of pCT isotherms and thermal-desorption spectroscopy.
Also, were investigated the potential catalytic properties of monometallic composites of type M@MOF in (i) Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and (ii) dehydrogenation of formic acid, which is another way to storage hydrogen.
