The usable capacity of porous materials for hydrogen storage

Hydrogen Storage by Physisorption on Porous Materials

Preparation and hydrogen storage capacity of highly porous activated carbon materials derived from polythiophene

Highly porous carbons have been successfully synthesized by chemical activation of polythiophene with KOH. The activation process was performed under relatively mild activation conditions, i. e., a KOH/polymer weight ratio of 2 and reaction temperatures in the 600 – 850 oC range. The porous carbons thus obtained possess very large surface areas, up to 3000 m/g, and pore volumes of up to 1.75 cm...

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 (...

High capacity hydrogen storage materials: attributes for automotive applications and techniques for materials discovery.

Widespread adoption of hydrogen as a vehicular fuel depends critically upon the ability to store hydrogen on-board at high volumetric and gravimetric densities, as well as on the ability to extract/insert it at sufficiently rapid rates. As current storage methods based on physical means--high-pressure gas or (cryogenic) liquefaction--are unlikely to satisfy targets for performance and cost, a g...
