UK-HyRES Hub researchers and colleagues at Bath just completed a NIST-led interlaboratory study on sorption in zeolites, using our new Micromeritics 3Flex with Iso Controller and CO₂. This setup allows us to collect precisely temperature-controlled isotherms, an essential step in benchmarking adsorption measurements across labs internationally.
CO₂ is a useful probe for ultramicroporosity (pores smaller than ~0.7 nm), which are often inaccessible using nitrogen or hydrogen. These measurements complement our hydrogen storage work, helping us understand how pore structure influences hydrogen uptake and release in nanoporous materials.
Thanks to the University of Bath’s Core Research Facilities (CRF), where you can access the 3Flex, and to technical specialists Siyi Liu, Dr Sunanda Sain, Sarah Hunter, Paul Frith, Dr Elizabeth Marsden, Olivier Camus and Wayne Gaston.
We were also pleased to host Professor Kumar Patchigolla (Teesside University) this week, joining Professor Tim Mays and colleagues to explore research synergies around industrial decarbonisation. Prof Kumar is a Co-Investigator on the Research England Development (RED) funded project, Growing Teesside’s Hydrogen Economy and Catalysing a Just Transition to Net Zero, based near the North East industrial cluster.
UK-HyRES teams across the country are always happy to connect, please get in touch if you’re interested in visiting or collaborating.
