Several materials are utilized to store gases effectively, often with the aid of catalytic properties:
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): These porous materials can store large amounts of gas due to their high surface area and tunable pore sizes. Zeolites: Microporous aluminosilicates used for gas adsorption and separation. Carbon Nanotubes: Their high surface area and unique structure make them excellent for gas storage. Hydrides: Metal hydrides can store hydrogen through reversible chemical reactions.
