A comprehensive report on preparing and analyzing adsorptive materials suitable for hydrogen and methane storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Development of low-pressure, high-capacity adsorbent based storage technology for methane, natural gas, and hydrogen as fuel for advanced transportation is necessary in order to address the temperature, pressure, weight, ... -
Fundamental building blocks of nanoporous networks from ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A new method of structural analysis that measures the nominal dimensions of pores using ultra-small-angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) data is presented. The characterization technique ... -
Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces
(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 ... -
Hierarchical model of gas exchange within the acinar airways of the human lung
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The acinar airways lie at the periphery of the human lung and are responsible for the transfer of oxygen from air to the blood during respiration. This transfer occurs by the diffusion-reaction of oxygen over the irregular ... -
Hydrogen adsorption studies of engineered and chemically modified activated carbons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)My research focuses on the production of boron-doped activated carbons and the evaluation of their adsorption and structural characteristics. Boron-doped activated carbons have been produced using a process involving the ... -
Nanospace engineering of porous carbon for gas storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] An overview is given of the development of advanced nanoporous carbons as storage materials for natural gas (methane) and molecular hydrogen in on-board ... -
On the high density hydrogen films adsorbed in carbon nanospaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The commercialization of hydrogen-powered fuel cell cars, with their environmentally friendly emissions, provides an opportunity to replace current gasoline powered vehicles. The main drawback of hydrogen as a fuel is the ... -
Properties of adsorbed hydrogen and methane films on nanoporous solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The environmental impacts and costs of fossil fuels necessitate the development of clean, renewable fuel sources for vehicular applications. Hydrogen based systems, with water as their byproduct, have zero carbon emissions, ... -
Room temperature methane and hydrogen adsorption studies on high-surface-area nanoporous carbon monoliths
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
