2026-01-05
Shanghai, January 5, 2026 – A team of researchers at Shanghai Jiaotong University has unveiled a groundbreaking hydrogen storage system that could revolutionize clean energy applications. The technology, developed by Professor Zhang Wei's group, addresses critical challenges in hydrogen transportation and storage by utilizing advanced metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Key Features:
- High Efficiency: The system achieves record-breaking hydrogen storage density, enabling longer-range fuel cell vehicles and efficient industrial use.
- Safety: Unlike traditional compressed gas methods, MOFs absorb hydrogen at low pressures, eliminating explosion risks.
- Sustainability: By integrating renewable energy sources, the technology aligns with global carbon neutrality goals.
Professor Zhang emphasized, "This innovation marks a leap from laboratory research to scalable solutions. It’s not just about storing hydrogen—it’s about empowering a zero-emission future."
Industry experts predict rapid adoption in automotive and energy sectors, with potential partnerships with leading manufacturers already underway.
