“…They are classified by their pore size, which ranges from 0.5 to 1.2 nm, for the adsorption of gas molecules [67]. They also have been widely applied to gas separation and purification [68][69][70]. Many researchers have investigated CH 4 storage using zeolites because of the microporous structures between their porosity and CH 4 molecules in the zeolite frameworks.…”

Global warming is considered one of the great challenges of the twenty-first century. In order to reduce the ever-increasing amount of methane (CH 4 ) released into the atmosphere, and thus its impact on global climate change, CH 4 storage technologies are attracting significant research interest. CH 4 storage processes are attracting technological interest, and methane is being applied as an alternative fuel for vehicles. CH 4 storage involves many technologies, among which, adsorption processes such as processes using porous adsorbents are regarded as an important green and economic technology. It is very important to develop highly efficient adsorbents to realize techno-economic systems for CH 4 adsorption and storage. In this review, we summarize the nanomaterials being used for CH 4 adsorption, which are divided into non-carbonaceous (e.g., zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, and porous polymers) and carbonaceous materials (e.g., activated carbons, ordered porous carbons, and activated carbon fibers), with a focus on recent research.

“…Recently, we demonstrated the purely inorganic, molecular sieve zeolite membranes as a new type of highly protonselective IEMs in the all-vanadium RFB (VRFB) [9,10]. Zeolites are electronically insulating aluminosilicate crystals containing ordered pores of subnanometer sizes defined by various crystallographic structures.…”

Abstract:In this report we have discussed the important role of molecular modeling, especially the use of the molecular dynamics method, in investigating transport processes in nanoporous materials such as membranes. With the availability of high performance computers, molecular modeling can now be used to study rather complex systems at a fraction of the cost or time requirements of experimental studies. Molecular modeling techniques have the advantage of being able to access spatial and temporal resolution which are difficult to reach in experimental studies. For example, sub-Angstrom level spatial resolution is very accessible as is sub-femtosecond temporal resolution. Due to these advantages, simulation can play two important roles: Firstly because of the increased spatial and temporal resolution, it can help understand phenomena not well understood. As an example, we discuss the study of reverse osmosis processes. Before simulations were used it was thought the separation of water from salt was purely a coulombic phenomenon. However, by applying molecular simulation techniques, it was clearly demonstrated that the solvation of ions made the separation in effect a steric separation and it was the flux which was strongly affected by the coulombic interactions between water and the membrane surface. Additionally, because of their relatively low cost and quick turnaround (by using multiple processor systems now increasingly available) simulations can be a useful screening tool to identify membranes for a potential application. To this end, we have described our studies in determining the most suitable zeolite membrane for redox flow battery applications. As computing facilities become more widely available and new computational methods are developed, we believe molecular modeling will become a key tool in the study of transport processes in nanoporous materials.
