Journal Article
Mokaya, R., & Masika, E. (2014). Exceptional gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage for densified zeolite templated carbons with high mechanical stability. Energy and Environmental Science, 7(1), 427-434. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ee42239a

Zeolite templating successfully generates carbons with high surface area and pore volume of ca. 3300 m2 g−1 and 1.6 cm3 g−1, respectively. The templated carbons have an exceptional gravimetric hydrogen uptake of 7.3 wt% at 20 bar and −196 °C, and a p...
