The Zr-MOF obtained from the modulated synthesis showed high thermal and moisture stabilities with enhanced hydrogen storage capacity. Further study suggests that the modulated synthesis of Zr-MOF may lead to the development of a flow-through synthesis processenZirconium-metal organic frameworkModulated synthesisHydrogen storageNucleation rateArticle
