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 […]

Thermophysical properties of H2 and CH4/H2-mixtures

In the exploration of hydrogen’s thermophysical properties, the significance of accurate density measurements becomes evident. Equally important is the role Equations of State (EoS) play in modeling hydrogen’s behavior. In the realm of metrology, traceable density measurements are key. Enhancing EoS for precise modeling aligns with efforts to achieve metrological traceability. This involves targeting specific […]
