Exceptional H2 Saturation Uptake in Microporous Metal-Organic Frameworks

by Antek G. Wong-Foy, Adam J. Matzger, & Omar M. Yaghi Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1 Mar 2006 (online) Chemists at UCLA and the University of Michigan report an advance toward the goal of cars that run on hydrogen rather than gasoline. While the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that practical hydrogen fuel will require concentrations of at least 6.5 percent, the chemists have achieved concentrations of 7.5 percent -- nearly three times as much as has been reported previously -- but at a very low temperature.
