Furtherance of the material-based hydrogen storage based on theory and experiments

Rohit Y. Sathe et al.

Summary: The burning of fossil fuels has negative effects on global air quality, and alternatives like the hydrogen economy are needed. Hydrogen is an ideal replacement for fossil fuels due to its high energy density, abundance, and eco-friendly oxidation product. However, the development of safe, inexpensive, and compact storage materials for hydrogen remains a concern.

Noncryogenic Air Separation Using Aluminum Formate Al(HCOO)3 (ALF)

Hayden A. Evans et al.

Summary: The process of separating oxygen from air to create oxygen-enriched gas streams is important in both industrial and medical fields. However, existing technologies for this process are energy-intensive and require infrastructure. This study demonstrates that a metal-organic framework, Al(HCOO)3 (ALF), can effectively adsorb oxygen at near-ice temperatures, with good time-dependent selectivity. ALF exhibits a high oxygen adsorption capacity of approximately 1.7 mmol/g at 190K and atmospheric pressure, and approximately 0.3 mmol/g at salt-ice temperatures of 250K. ALF shows potential as a low-cost option for oxygen separation applications.

Exclusive Recognition of CO2 from Hydrocarbons by Aluminum Formate with Hydrogen-Confined Pore Cavities

Zhaoqiang Zhang et al.

Summary: The exclusive capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from hydrocarbon mixtures is crucial in the petrochemical industry. A new study introduces a ultramicroporous material, ALF, which can selectively capture CO2 from hydrocarbon mixtures with high capacity and efficiency. The material's unique pore chemistry allows for molecular recognition of CO2 by hydrogen bonding, while rejecting other hydrocarbons.

Multivariate Flexible Framework with High Usable Hydrogen Capacity in a Reduced Pressure Swing Process

Arijit Halder et al.

Summary: Step-shaped adsorption-desorption of gaseous payloads by flexible metal-organic frameworks can facilitate the delivery of large usable capacities with reduced energetic penalties. The multivariate linker approach is a powerful tool for tuning the phase change behavior of flexible frameworks. In this work, a multivariate framework was developed with a considerably reduced threshold pressure and desirable adsorption-desorption profile for efficient storage and delivery of weakly physisorbing species.

Techno-economic analysis of long-duration energy storage and flexible power generation technologies to support high-variable renewable energy grids

Chad A. Hunter et al.

Summary: As variable renewable energy penetration increases, clean power systems will need long-duration energy storage or low-carbon generation to meet the demand. Current research shows that hydrogen systems with geologic storage and natural gas with carbon capture are the least-cost low-carbon technologies, with compressed air and pumped thermal storage potentially being the least-cost options in the current capital cost scenario under uncertainty. A new storage system using heavy-duty vehicle fuel cells could significantly reduce the levelized cost of energy and help enable very high renewable energy grids.

Technoeconomic analysis of metal-organic frameworks for bulk hydrogen transportation

Aikaterini Anastasopoulou et al.

Summary: In this study, technoeconomic modeling was used to analyze the cost, performance, and relations between components for early-stage adsorbent-based hydrogen supply chains. The results indicate that MOF-based truck fleets have higher costs for long-distance transmission, but key opportunities for cost reduction were identified, including developing new MOFs with higher capacities.
