Cryo-adsorption is a way to store hydrogen with cold temperatures and adsorbents (porous materials) such as activated carbon or MOFs, achieving a high hydrogen storage density without storing the hydrogen at extreme pressures. It has promise for fuel cell vehicles and ships, mostly due to emerging materials (e.g. COFs) and system configurations. However, it still has challenges moving forward in terms of thermal management and total cost of ownership. This overview provides a summary of recent literature to show the potential of cryo-adsorption for the hydrogen economy.
