  • Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology 

    Pfeifer, Peter; Suppes, Galen J.; Shah, Parag S.; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Pobst, Jeff (2010-10)
    This invention teaches a method of manufacturing carbon so that it adsorbs large amounts of gas at low pressures due to the high surface area and associated nanopores. For example, a full tank of this carbon can hold more ...

  • Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces 

    Burress, Jacob W., 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Vehicular storage of gaseous fuels is a key enabling technology for the two pillars of a non-petroleum based transportation economy natural-gas vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. My research focuses on the development ...

  • Gas Storage Capabilities and Structure of Nanoporous Carbon 

    Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Wood, Mikael; Barker, Sarah; Faulhaber, Carol; Taylor, Demetrius; Pfeifer, Peter (2010)
    Networks of fractal nanopores in activated carbon have recently been discovered (Pfeifer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 115502 (2002). These networks have shown promise in the storage of methane and hydrogen for use as ...

  • Gravimetric Analysis of Methane Adsorption in Activated Carbon (Barker) [abstract] 

    Barker, Sarah; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Pfeifer, Peter (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
    Recently fractal networks of nanopores in activated carbon, nanoporous carbon from waste corn cobs in Missouri, have been discovered (Pfeifer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 115502 (2002)). We study the formation and properties ...

  • Gravimetric analysis of methane adsorption in activated carbon (Faulhaber) [abstract] 

    Faulhaber, Carol; Burress, Jacob W., 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
    ALL-CRAFT has an interest in using activated carbon to store high-capacities of natural gas at low pressures for use in natural gas vehicles.  Activated carbon made from waste corncob, contains fractal pores that are ...

  • Gravimetric analysis of methane adsorption in activated carbon [abstract] 

    Barker, Sarah; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Pfeifer, Peter (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
    Recently fractal networks of nanopores in activated carbon, nanoporous carbon from waste corn cobs in Missouri, have been discovered (Pfeifer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 115502 (2002)). We study the formation and properties ...

  • Hydrogen storage in engineered carbon nanospaces 

    Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Kraus, Michael A., 1978-; Beckner, Matt; Cepel, Raina; Suppes, Galen J.; Pfeifer, Peter; Wexler, Carlos, 1966- (Institute of Physics, 2009)
    It is shown how appropriately engineered nanoporous carbons provide materials for reversible hydrogen storage, based on physisorption, with exceptional storage capacities (~80 g H2/kg carbon, ~50 g H2/liter carbon, at 50 ...

  • Making alternative fuel vehicles work: Storage through absorption on Missouri corn cob 

    Pobst, Jeff; Aston, Lauren; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Carter, Sara; Flavin, John; Wood, Mikael; Suppes, Galen J.; Buckley, Phil; Pfeifer, Peter (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    The USA's current demand for petroleum leads to many problems (many being global concerns as well): a dependence on foreign nations for our energy, an increase in pollution/global warming, and high gas prices. Each of those ...

  • Methane adsorption in nanoporous activated carbon [abstract] 

    Aston, Lauren; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Pfeifer, Peter (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    Natural gas is an economically and environmentally superior fuel to both gasoline and diesel. One challenge of this fuel is to find a high-capacity, low pressure method of storing it. Fractal networks of nanopores in ...

  • Nanoporous biocarbons as a storage system for natural gas as fuel for vehicles 

    Bowman, Samuel; Burress, Jacob W., 1983-; Pfeifer, Peter (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
    Natural gas is a promising fuel source because it is safe, inexpensive, cleaner than gasoline, domestically produced, and already has an infrastructure for its distribution. Methane, the main component of natural gas, ...
