Efforts to improve gas uptake in porous materials such as MOFs and COFs have led to the development of several strategies. One approach is reticular chemistry, which allows for the selection of different nodes and linkers to create customized structures. Building on this concept, Han et al. investigated how various factors, including pore size, impregnation, catenation, open metal sites, and functionalized linkers, affect hydrogen storage in MOFs and COFs. In our study, we demonstrate that COFs with smaller pores and tri-topic metalated linkers exhibit state-of-the-art performance. To achieve optimal results, it is essential that metal sites are easily accessible, enabling them to interact more efficiently with adsorbates.
