The breakthrough will help scientists to develop ways to use the incredible powers of hydrogen in novel
materials for hydrogen storage, in fuel cells, or in other alternative energy applications.
During the search for optimal
compounds for hydrogen storage at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw an accidental, albeit very interesting, discovery has been made: while the pressure was being increased one of the tested materials suddenly elongated significantly.
The TAP technique can be used to better understand the composition / kinetics
relationship for hydrogen storage, water / hydrogen / oxygen surface kinetics, reforming processes and catalysts, PROX reactions, CO and S poisoning, etc..
The results of these studies will be used as leverage to help scientists control
processes for hydrogen storage, biofuel production, and other reactions.
SNL is an internationally recognized leader in the development of MOFs for practical applications, with several MOF - related «firsts,» including integration with MEMS devices, measurement of mechanical properties, catalytic
nanoreactors for hydrogen storage, and luminescent MOFs for radiation detection.
Yaghi's group and Jeffrey Long's group at UC Berkeley both recently created MOFs that can hold up to 7.5 % of their weight in hydrogen, better than a
benchmark for hydrogen storage set by the U.S. Department of Energy.
A new Berkeley Lab - led study provides insight into how an ultrathin coating can enhance the performance of graphene - wrapped
nanocrystals for hydrogen storage applications.
The
target for hydrogen storage in 2023 is low not because of problems putting it in the network, but because they are still developing and taking cost out of the electrolysis from renewables to supply the hydrogen.
Before practicing law, Shrestha was a research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, where his investigation on materials
for hydrogen storage technology received several patents.
Next, they computed the properties of ammonium complexes, specifically combining ammonium with astatine or selected borohydrides; the latter are promising
materials for hydrogen storage.
