I present many hard years of effort between myself, Sir Woof, the groups of @Piero_Canepa @ZhaoGroupNUS and others.

The pitch: Aluminum formate (ALF) adsorbs CO2 really well at elevated temperatures, ignores N2, and is made reeeeeal cheap.

Enjoy!

www.science.org Aluminum formate, Al(HCOO)3: An earth-abundant, scalable, and highly selective material for CO2... Al(HCOO)3 shows excellent CO2 adsorption and CO2/N2 selectivity, enabling CO2 removal from dried CO2-rich gas streams above 300 K.

ALF stores #H2 at modest temps and pressures. Given its low cost - it is perhaps one of the most alluring solutions to large scale storage of H2. See our work published in @J_A_C_S and seen in @ScienceMagazine today! #MOFs @NIST

ALF stores H2 at low P/mild T - great for fuel cell pairing.

This work was spearheaded by us at NIST, but we have some wonderful technoeconomic analysis from @hanna_breunig +Peng showing ALF's cost competitiveness vs compressed H2.

Long-duration storage of hydrogen is necessary for coupling renewable H2 with stationary fuel cell power applications. In this work, aluminum formate (ALF), which adopts the ReO3-type structure, is...
