title: Improving the hydrogen-adsorption properties of a hydroxy-modified MIL-53(Al) structural analogue by lithium doping.
abstract: Lithium makes the difference: A simple strategy for the synthesis of lithium-doped porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is developed (see structure; C black, O red, AlO(6) blue octahedra), thus paving the way for the facile preparation of lithium-doped MOFs. Moreover, the significant increase in hydrogen adsorption predicted by theoretical calculations is observed.
