Abstract
Abstract Hydrogen adsorption isotherms for MIL-101 metal-organic framework are reported within a wide pressure range for temperatures between 77 and 295 K. Data modeling with the modified Dubinin-Astakhov equation shows a good fitting with the experimental results. The calculated absolute adsorption allowed the evaluation of the total hydrogen storage capacity for high pressure storage tank filled with MIL-101 as sorbent. The results show that the gravimetric and volumetric storage capacities at 198 K and 70 MPa are within the present-day accepted DOE targets, even if the storage capacity is slightly decreased by 3–6% as compared to the tank without sorbent. Moreover, the calculations reveal that the dormancy time is much increased, as compared to a tank without sorbent, exceeding the ultimate DOE target of 14 days. The MIL-101 assisted cold high-pressure hydrogen storage at ∼200 K and 70 MPa, brings about an additional advantage and seems promising for both mobile and stationary applications.
