Lithium chloride (LiCl), which possesses the highest theoretical NH 3 capacity among metal halides, faces challenges such as a significantly high plateau pressure and inevitable volume expansion in the LiCl(NH 3 ) 4 complex, hindering static NH 3 storage. Herein, we introduce a series of M 2 (dobpdc)-based composites, specifically LiCl@Mg 2 (dobpdc)-5 , showcasing the highest gravimetric/volumetric NH 3 adsorption capacity (48.3 mmol g -1 / 6 5.8 mmol cm -3 ) and superior NH 3 storage density (1.12 g cm -3 ) at 298 K and 1 bar. Notably, the indirect gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity was calculated to be 14.6 wt%, which is comparable to the hydrogen storage capacity of NH 3 itself (17.8 wt%). This remarkable performance stems from the presence of LiCl in the metal nodes, highly dispersed LiCl nanoparticles (NPs), and open metal sites. Additionally, the composite avoids volume expansion even after LiCl(NH 3 ) 4 formation at 273 K. Thorough analysis using van der Waals-corrected density functional theory calculations confirmed the efficacy of the LiCl impregnation method, suggesting its potential to advance NH 3 storage systems for hydrogen carriers.
