Understanding universal adsorption limits for hydrogen storage in nano porous systems

Abstract

Despite of more than 15 years of research, no materials possess the adsorbing properties required for mobile storage. At this time of state-of-the-art technology, the essential question should be asked: why is it so difficult to prepare a material with the desired properties? Here, we discuss the sources of physical limitations of existing materials and indicate the directions for further material research.

Keywords: hydrogen adsorption; hydrogen storage; porous materials.
