Journal Article
Ren, M., Sevilla, M., Fuertes, A. B., Mokaya, R., Tour, J. M., & Jalilov, A. S. (2019). Pore Characteristics for Efficient CO2 Storage in Hydrated Carbons. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 11(47), 44390-44398. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b17833

Development of new approaches for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is important in both scientific and technological aspects. One of the emerging methods in CO2 capture research is based on the use of gas-hydrate crystallization in confined porous media....

The effects of metakaolinization and fused-metakaolinization on zeolites from quartz rich natural clays (2019)
Journal Article
Otieno, S. O., Kengara, F. O., Kemmegne-Mbouguen, J. C., Langmi, H. W., Kowenje, C. B., & Mokaya, R. (2019). The effects of metakaolinization and fused-metakaolinization on zeolites from quartz rich natural clays. Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 290, Article 109668. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micromeso.2019.109668

A variety of zeolites have been synthesized by performing either metakaolinization or fused-metakaolinization of natural clays prior to the hydrothermal synthesis step. To understand the differences arising from performing fused metakaolinization rat...

Pre-mixed precursors for modulating the porosity of carbons for enhanced hydrogen storage: towards predicting the activation behaviour of carbonaceous matter (2019)
Journal Article
Balahmar, N., & Mokaya, R. (2019). Pre-mixed precursors for modulating the porosity of carbons for enhanced hydrogen storage: towards predicting the activation behaviour of carbonaceous matter. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2019(29), 17466-17479. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9ta06308k

Highly porous carbons prepared from pre-mixtures of polypyrrole and raw sawdust or sawdust hydrochar achieve much higher surface area than is possible from single use of any one of the precursors. The pre-mixed precursors offer carbons with ultrahigh...

New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics (2019)
Journal Article
Tang, X., Ripepi, N., Rigby, S., Mokaya, R., & Gilliland, E. (2019). New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics. Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 78, 186-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2019.06.015

Understanding methane adsorption behavior in shales is fundamental for optimizing shale gas development as the adsorbed methane is a large portion of the subsurface shale gas resource. However, the adsorption mechanism of supercritical methane in sha... Read More about New perspectives on supercritical methane adsorption in shales and associated thermodynamics.
