Permanent storage : The gas storage capacities of metal–organic frameworks can be increased by incorporation of carbon nanotubes and doping of the resulting framework with lithium ions (see picture, C turquoise, Cu green polyhedra, Li purple, O red). This combination of modifications results in an improvement of the CO 2 and CH 4 uptakes by about 305 % and 200 % ( T =298 K and P =18 bar), respectively, compared to the unmodified compounds.
