Resumen

El hidrógeno es un combustible alternativo para aplicaciones de vehículos de transporte debido a sus ventajas como combustible limpio en comparación con los combustibles fósiles. Sin embargo, su masificación en vehículos de transporte terrestre y uso en el transporte aéreo depende de mejorar los sistemas de almacenamiento en cuanto a seguridad y eficiencia (mayor densidad energética por unidad de peso o volumen), debido a que el hidrógeno es muy explosivo y se requiere almacenar en altas densidades para obtener mayor autonomía. Una alternativa para resolver estas problemáticas se basa en la estrategia de utilizar tanques de combustibles de materiales sólidos en los cuales el hidrógeno pueda almacenarse mediante su adsorción en la superficie de los poros del material, sin la necesidad de emplear temperaturas criogénicas, así como la posibilidad de tener una cinética rápida en la carga y descarga del gas. La seguridad se mejora debido a que el hidrógeno se encuentra adsorbido en el material a presiones más bajas que en un cilindro convencional. Debido a las ventajas que poseen los materiales nanoestructurados para diseñar un sistema de este tipo, en este artículo revisamos los mecanismos de almacenamiento de hidrógeno en esos materiales.
