Experimental Volumetric Hydrogen Uptake Determination at 77 K of Commercially Available Metal-Organic Framework Materials

Storage is still limiting the implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier to integrate the intermittent operation of renewable energy sources. Among different solutions to the currently used compressed or liquified hydrogen systems, physical adsorption at cryogenic temperature in porous materials is an attractive alternative due to its fast and reversible operation and the resulting […]
MefHySto publishes open access paper

Thermodynamic characterization of the (H2 + C3H8) system significant for the hydrogen economy: Experimental (p, ρ, T) determination and equation-of-state modelling Second Paper published within the MefHySto Project. Highlights H2-enriched natural gas is a key vehicle to introduce hydrogen in our energy infrastructure. Three hydrogen-propane mixtures, of reference-quality, were prepared. Density of these mixtures was […]
Open access paper about Hydrogen Cryo-Adsorption Tanks

Abstract Cryoadsorption on the inner surface of porous materials is a promising solution for safe, fast, and reversible hydrogen storage. Within the class of highly porous metal−organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) show high thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. In this study, we selected ZIF-8 synthesized mechanochemically by twin-screw extrusion as powder and pellets. The […]
A database to select affordable MOFs for volumetric hydrogen cryoadsorption considering the cost of their linkers

A database to select affordable MOFs for volumetric hydrogen cryoadsorption considering the cost of their linkers was introduced by CIIAE – Iberian Centre for Research in Energy Storage and Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung. Physical adsorption at cryogenic temperature is a reversible mechanism that can reduce the pressure of conventional compressed gas storage systems. Metal–organic framework […]
Enabling the injection of hydrogen in high-pressure gas grids: investigation of the impact on materials and equipment

Green hydrogen is a renewable gas that can help to reach the goal of decarbonizing the energy sector. The use of the natural gas grid for seasonal storage and transport of hydrogen needs previous assessment of its tolerance, ensuring safe and viable operation.
