Multiple guest occupancy in clathrate hydrates and its significance in hydrogen storage?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2013-06-07 DOI: 10.1039/C3CC43376E

Abstract

We report a new concept of structural transformation combined with tuning phenomena which together result in a significant increase in the hydrogen storage capacity in an icy material. It is necessary to investigate the use of a fully water-soluble structure H (sH) former so as to observe how hydrogen molecules are stably loaded into hydrate cages.
