Abstract

Microporous materials store gases under dry conditions (e.g., hydrogen or oxygen via physisorption), but in some cases microporous materials also show triphasic (e.g., in a solid|gas|liquid system) gas storage in the presence of humidity/water. This is exploited recently to enhance gas solubility in...
