The patent filed by Evimien Energy introduces a novel method for hydrogen storage and transportation.
The inventors responsible for this innovation are known within the renewable energy field and seek to provide a more efficient solution to a common challenge in the hydrogen energy sector.
The patented technology focuses on using advanced metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for hydrogen storage. These MOFs are designed to significantly improve hydrogen absorption and desorption rates compared to existing storage solutions. The key improvement lies in the enhanced surface area and pore volume within the MOFs, allowing for more hydrogen molecules to be stored at a given time.
Potential Applications
This technology could have wide-ranging applications within the hydrogen energy industry. It may be particularly useful for hydrogen fueling stations, transport vehicles, and portable hydrogen storage systems. The improved storage efficiency may also benefit industrial applications where hydrogen is used as a feedstock or fuel.
Technical Specifications
Key technical details include specifics about the metal-organic frameworks used. The MOFs described in the patent have a high surface area of over 5,000 square meters per gram and a pore volume greater than 3.0 cubic centimeters per gram. The hydrogen absorption rate is enhanced by incorporating specific dopants within the MOF structure, which increases affinity for hydrogen molecules.
