Additional information
Describes the hydrogen storage uptake of transition metal fragments on mesoporous silica and demonstrates for the first time that the Kubas interaction (a form of weak non-dissociative binding of H2) can be directly applied to a hydrogen storage system with the same range of binding energies (20-30 kJ/mol) calculated to be ideal for room temperature storage, but never before accessed in bulk materials. It also showed that it was possible to bind 4 H2/metal at 77 K, which is 2 more than the 2 H2 per metal that was the previously observed maximum. Covered in the March 2011 MRS Bulletin.
