A system and method for systematically generating potential metal-organic framework (MOFs) structures given an input library of building blocks is provided herein. One or more material properties of the potential MOFs are evaluated using computational simulations. A range of material properties (surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, powder x-ray diffraction pattern, methane adsorption capability, and the like) can be estimated, and in doing so, illuminate unidentified structure-property relationships that may only have been recognized by taking a global view of MOF structures. In addition to identifying structure-property relationships, this systematic approach to identify the MOFs of interest is used to identify one or more MOFs that may be useful for high pressure methane storage.
本文提供了一种系统地生成潜在
金属-有机框架(MOFs)结构的系统和方法,给定输入的构建块库。使用计算模拟评估潜在MOFs的一个或多个材料属性。可以估计一系列材料属性(表面积、孔体积、孔径分布、粉末X射线衍射图案、
甲烷吸附能力等),通过这样做,阐明可能只有通过全局视角观察MOF结构才能识别的未知结构-性质关系。除了识别结构-性质关系外,这种系统化的方法用于识别感兴趣的MOFs,以识别一个或多个可能对高压
甲烷储存有用的MOFs。
