Hydrogen Storage: High-Pressure Gas Sorption & Physisorption

Hydrogen storage is a cornerstone of the emerging hydrogen economy, and physisorption onto porous materials—such as MOFs, zeolites, activated carbons, and porous polymers—offers a promising path for both stationary and onboard applications. In this seminar, Dr. Isyas will highlight the capabilities of the iSorb high-pressure gas sorption analyzer for characterizing hydrogen storage performance.

Designed to operate up to 200 bar and across a wide temperature range (77 K to 500°C), iSorb provides precise and reproducible measurements of adsorption isotherms, total and excess uptake, PCT curves, kinetics, and adsorption capacity. These insights guide material selection, optimize system design, and support standardization efforts in hydrogen storage research. Attendees will learn how cutting-edge gas sorption analysis accelerates innovation in clean energy storage technologies.

Dr. Robin Isyas brings over 20 years of expertise in analytical instrumentation and material characterization, with experience spanning pharmaceuticals, polymers, and energy storage. As Global Product Manager at Anton Paar QuantaTec, he leads the development of next-generation gas sorption platforms that advance green energy technologies worldwide.
