Potential Application of Nanoporous Materials in Hydrogen Storage Expected to Grow their Sales

The carbon-based nanoporous materials, including activated carbons (AC) and carbon nanotubes, have been gaining traction as potential hydrogen absorbents due to their high specific surface area (SSA). However, the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon-based nanoporous materials is small at room temperature, significant hydrogen adsorption can be done at very low temperatures or high pressures. This potential use of nanoporous materials for storing hydrogen is likely to fuel growth in nanoporous materials market.
