Physical storage of gaseous hydrogen under high-pressure in glassy micro-containers such as spheres and capillaries is a promising concept for enhancing safety and the volumetric capacity of mobile hydrogen storage systems. As very low permeation through the container wall is required for storage of compressed hydrogen, development of glasses of minimal hydrogen permeability is needed. For this purpose, one has to understand better the dependence of hydrogen permeability on glass structure. The paper points out that minimizing the accessible free volume is as one strategy to minimize hydrogen permeability. Based on previously measured and comprehensive literature data, it is shown that permeation is independently controlled by ionic porosity and network modifier content. Thus, ionic porosity in modified and fully polymerized networks can be decreased equally to the lowest hydrogen permeability among the glasses under study. Applying this concept, a drop of up to 30,000 with respect to the permeation of hydrogen molecules through silica glass is attainable.
Sol-gel preparation of calcium titanium phosphate: viscosity, thermal properties and solubility
(2012)
Calcium titanium phosphate (CTP) was prepared by the sol–gel route in order to prepare suitable coatings. This work addresses the question of how to prepare stable CTP sols. Their rheological properties as a function of process parameters like solid loading and water content are investigated. It was found that an increased solid loading as well as an increased water content lead to an increased initial viscosity as well as a more pronounced ageing induced viscosity rise. In addition, the thermal behavior of the resulting xerogels was analyzed. Furthermore, we studied the ion release behavior of the xerogels when brought in contact with water. Results suggest that calcium titanium phosphate shows a diffusion controlled ion release mode with a preferential release of Ca.
