Hydrogen Storage Gets A Boost

Running cars on hydrogen-powered fuel cells might be commonplace in the future. But for now, it’s still a technology on the drawing board, limited by the ability to store significant amounts of hydrogen in a safe and practical way.

Three papers published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society now report a significant milestone in hydrogen storage: the first definitive evidence for H2 binding to open metal coordination sites in nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
