Hydrogen Storage in Two-Dimensional Layered Nanomaterials
The present research partnership between Hydrogen In Motion and Simon Fraser University will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of the proposed Mitacs Accelerate Extension phase is to design, construct, and calibrate a specialized Sievert-type apparatus for measurement of hydrogen sorption and desorption properties of nanomaterials. The research will focus on assessing the feasibility and development of two-dimensional layered nanostructures, such as graphene, as a viable material to store hydrogen. The research agenda brings together proven expertise in nanomaterials, hydrogen storage, and fuel cells at Simon Fraser University with leading technical expertise at Hydrogen In Motion. The proposed customized apparatus for hydrogen sorption measurements will provide lasting benefits to both parties by providing a state-of-the-art, modular capability for testing and evaluation of novel candidate materials and concepts for next generation hydrogen storage systems.
