Hydrogen Storage by Physisorption on Porous Materials

Synthesis of nano-porous molecular sieve from some natural materials

Zeolites due to their structures can be used as molecular sieves for purification of materials and solutions. Zeolites with PHI and SOD structure are so common and applicable for this purpose. Hydroxy sodalite and phillipsite are the more abundant members of zeolites which display good selectivity for very small molecules and some ions such as Sr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Rb. There is not any pure natura...

Optimizing nanoporous materials for gas storage.

In this work, we address the question of which thermodynamic factors determine the deliverable capacity of methane in nanoporous materials. The deliverable capacity is one of the key factors that determines the performance of a material for methane storage in automotive fuel tanks. To obtain insights into how the molecular characteristics of a material are related to the deliverable capacity, w...

Hydrogen storage in porous materials, current status and future challenges

Hydrogen storage in porous materials gained considerable interest, since in the past 15 years many new coordination polymers or framework materials have been synthesized, which show a permanent ultra-high porosity and an extremely large specific surface area [1-3]. Different classes of these novel highly porous structures, e.g., metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (...
