Materials for hydrogen storage: current research trends and perspectives

TL;DR: This critical review of the current status of hydrogen storage within microporous metal-organic frameworks provides an overview of the relationships between structural features and the enthalpy of hydrogen adsorption, spectroscopic methods for probing framework-H(2) interactions, and strategies for improving storage capacity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review of hydrogen as an ideal sustainable energy carrier for the future economy, its storage as the stumbling block as well as the current position of solid-state hydrogen storage in metal hydrides and makes a recommendation based on the most promising novel discoveries made in the field in recent times which suggests a prospective breakthrough towards a hydrogen economy.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential applications of metal-organic frameworks are examined and an outlook is proposed for these potential applications, including materials for gas storage, gas/vapor separation, catalysis, luminescence, and drug delivery.

TL;DR: In this article, a low-temperature gas sorption study has been carried out on four three-dimensional microporous metal organic framework (MMOF) structures and two two-dimensional layered structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pyrolysis of PET waste was performed in a quartz reactor (i.d. 35mm) under an inert atmosphere, with a temperature of 925°C and a flow rate of 10mlmin −1 of CO 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of framework flexibility in facilitating the passage of molecules through confining framework materials is probed via both periodic energy minimizations using dedicated force fields and embedded quantum mechanical/semi-empirical cluster calculations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nanotechnological app#roach aims at making tailor-made developments for storage materials by combining different scientific disciplines and focussing on processes on the microscale.
