Title

Hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials: Advantages and limitations

Date

June 10 (Fri.) , 2022 16:00-17:00 on Japan Time

Venue

Online (Zoom)

Abstract

Hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials has been attracting a great deal of attention in recent years, as high gravimetric H2 capacities can be achieved at 77 K using materials with particularly high surface areas. Cryogenic storage by physisorption of hydrogen molecules will safely operate at low pressures, is fully reversible and possesses fast kinetics.

Experimental data of the gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen uptake have been analysed for many metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) showing a linear correlation of the gravimetric uptake with the specific surface area and for the volumetric hydrogen uptake as a function of the volumetric surface area.

A phenomenological model is developed for the volumetric uptake as a function of the gravimetric uptake. For technical applications the key parameter is the usable capacity, which is the amount of hydrogen that can be delivered between the maximum tank pressure and the back pressure required by the end-user.

About Tea Time Talk

AIMR’s Tea Time Talk is a kind of seminar aiming to promote exchange between world’s eminent researchers and young researchers at AIMR, held in a relaxed atmosphere at AIMR’s Friday Tea Time. The following researchers from around the world have given talks at this event so far, and participants have enjoyed discussion over a cup of tea.
