Rethinking liquid hydrogen storage with metal-organic frameworks

Researchers have discovered that incorporating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into liquid hydrogen tanks can significantly delay evaporation. By adsorbing hydrogen onto porous surfaces, the material helps maintain density and reduces pressure buildup during storage.
Why it matters
Improving hydrogen storage efficiency is critical for the viability of hydrogen as a clean, long-distance energy transport solution.
