Nitrogen is an effective supercritical fluid for extraction or drying processes due to its small molecular size, high density in the near-liquid supercritical regime, and chemical inertness. We present a supercritical nitrogen drying protocol for the purification treatment of reactive, porous materials.

We illustrate the application of 1H(15N,αγ)12C resonant nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) to quantitatively evaluate the density of hydrogen atoms on the surface, in the volume, and at an interfacial layer of solid materials. The near-surface hydrogen depth profiling of a Pd(110) single crystal and of SiO2/Si(100) stacks is described.

Dong and Zhiwei Chen, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, CA This experiment will demonstrate the hydrogenation of chalcone as an example of an alkene hydrogenation reaction (Figure 1). In this experiment, palladium on carbon (Pd/C) will be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the process. A balloon will be used to supply the hydrogen atmosphere.

A schema is a mental framework that helps individuals organize and interpret information. Schemata, formed from previous experiences, influence how we process new information: how we encode it, the inferences we make, and how we retrieve it. For instance, a schema for what a typical classroom looks like might include desks, a teacher's desk, a whiteboard, and students in such an environment. This expectation helps us quickly understand and navigate new classrooms without needing to analyze each...
FAQs
Temperature, pressure, and reaction energetics determine whether hydrogen enters a material and how readily it can leave. Pressure and temperature influence uptake and release, while reaction energetics govern the energy conditions associated with those steps. Researchers therefore assess storage materials under operating conditions rather than capacity alone, because a material must retain hydrogen safely and discharge it when required.
The three storage modes present different chemical relationships with hydrogen. Physical adsorption holds hydrogen on porous solids, absorption places it within metals or alloys, and reversible chemical bonding occurs in hydrides and related compounds. These distinctions affect how hydrogen is taken up and released, so comparing a material requires examining its storage mechanism alongside its practical operating conditions.
A useful material must balance several competing properties: storage capacity, reversibility, charging and discharge rates, stability, and operating conditions. High capacity alone does not establish practical value if hydrogen cannot be released efficiently, the material degrades, or the required conditions are unsuitable. This balance is central to chemistry research on materials for usable hydrogen energy systems.
Studies should control temperature and pressure while assessing hydrogen uptake and release. Reaction energetics also require consideration because they influence the conditions under which storage and discharge occur. Evaluating these variables together helps determine whether a material offers reversible operation, suitable rates, and stable performance rather than merely demonstrating that it can hold hydrogen.
Their intended settings include fuel-cell systems, transportation, and stationary energy storage. In each case, the material must support safe handling and useful storage density while allowing hydrogen to be supplied when needed. Compared with simple gas compression, the appeal lies in the possibility of improving density, safety, and handling through engineered storage behavior.
Chemistry provides a framework for linking a material’s storage mechanism to its hydrogen behavior. Porous solids support physical adsorption, metals and alloys accommodate absorption, and hydrides or related compounds rely on reversible chemical bonding. Examining these interactions helps explain why uptake, release, stability, and operating requirements differ across candidate materials.
