H2MOF to have solid-state hydrogen storage prototype within months
Irvine, California-based start-up H2MOF is nearing the industrial prototype testing phase for its durable, cost-efficient solid-state hydrogen storage technology, which is expected to happen sometime in 2025, chief technology officer Dr. Neel Sirosh said in an interview with Renewables Now. The commercial availability of the technology could be expected in a couple of years.
H2MOF was established in 2021 by Nobel laureate and professor Sir Fraser Stoddart, founder of the artificial molecular machinery field of science and the one who discovered the mechanical bond in the field of supramolecular chemistry; professor Omar Yaghi, the founder of the reticular chemistry field of science and the inventor of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs); and Dr. Samer Taha.
The company is developing a technology for safe, low-cost and scalable hydrogen storage at low pressure and ambient temperature utilising the latest advancements in the field of molecularly engineered materials. The technology is centred on MOF-like materials, which are the result of breakthroughs in reticular chemistry. (…)
