Contributor Schoonman, J. (promotor) Jansen, J.C. (promotor) Faculty Applied Sciences Date 2006-05-08 Abstract The feasibility of using zeolites, and more specifically the clathrasil subgroup, for hydrogen storage has been investigated by comparing their H2 loading rate and storage capacity to the technically required values. The uptake rate and capacity are determined by means of computational modelling for a large number of clathrasil structures. It appeared that the loading rate is sufficient for most structures, while the capacity at reasonable operating pressures and temperatures is far too low. This implies that clathrasils should not be used for H2 storage, however, thanks to the high diffusion rates in these materials, they might be interesting as size-selective membranes. Additionally, the encapsulation of hydrogen during the hydrothermal synthesis of the clathrasil DD3R is explored experimentally and found to be possible.
