The invention discloses Activated Carbon-Metal Organic Framework composite materials (AC-MOF) with enhanced gas adsorption capacity. The invention also discloses a process for the preparation of carbon-metal organic framework composite materials (AC-MOF). The invention involves the use of 'void space filling method' in metal organic frameworks (MOFs), which have been accomplished by in-situ addition of selected type and appropriate amount of activated carbon during the synthesis of MOF such as Cu-BTC, in the storage of gases such as methane. The gas adsorption capacity of these AC-MOF composite materials is significantly increased through this method.
