Abstract

Thermodynamic characterisation of the adsorption process (at a low temperature) of dihydrogen on the zeolite Li-ZSM-5 was carried out by means of variable-temperature infrared spectroscopy, with the simultaneous measurement of temperature and equilibrium pressure. Adsorption renders the H–H stretching mode infrared active, at 4092 cm −1 . The standard adsorption enthalpy and entropy resulted to be ΔH 0=−6.5(±0.5) kJ mol −1 and ΔS 0=−90(±5) J mol −1 K −1 , respectively. The adsorption enthalpy is significantly larger than the liquefaction heat, and this fact renders Li-ZSM-5 a potential cryoadsorbent for hydrogen storage.
