- The paper reports the first experimental observation of highly dense hydrogen in the pores of a nanoporous carbon at moderate pressures and 77 K, showing distinct features of solid hydrogen at conditions much higher than hydrogen’s liquid-vapour critical temperature. In addition to providing some insight on the adsorbed phase of hydrogen, the finding can aid in the design of better hydrogen storage materials, as, like expected, the hydrogen was confined to these densities in pores smaller than 1 nm. The paper received attention when it was published and was reported in international news websites including Phys.org, and ACS Nanotation.
