| Abstract Scope |
Hydrogen is poised to play a large role in the efforts to decarbonize the global energy economy. However, every step of the hydrogen life cycle, and especially hydrogen storage, must be improved before hydrogen can become economically viable as a fuel source. Here we use a variety of in situ gas dosed X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to characterize hydrogen interactions in porous materials. Specifically, we use in situ powder neutron and X-ray diffraction measurements to characterize hydrogen sorption in flexible metal–organic framework materials and inelastic neutron scattering measurements to probe the chemical bonding in these and related systems. Our studies lead to improved design criteria which allow us to move towards the next generation of porous storage materials for both stationary and mobile applications. |
