Hydrogen adsorption in microporous solid materials may enable H 2 to be stored at lower pressures than in compressed‐gas tanks, and at higher temperatures than for liquid H 2 . A new class of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a high specific surface area appears promising for H 2 storage. Here, the H 2 ‐uptake capacity of MOF‐5 over a wide pressure range, at room temperature and at 77 K is investigated (see Figure). Adsorption of H 2 exclusively in the micropores of these metal–organic frameworks is demonstrated.
