Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Field-assisted gas storage materials having improved gas storage density/solubility and improved gas mobility are described. In some embodiments, the gas storage material comprises a material comprising gas storage space and enough ionic character to sustain an electric dipole during application of an applied field, wherein the applied field does not cause the material to become conductive, and wherein a gas is stored within the gas storage space in the material. In other emdodiments, the gas storage material comprises a meterial comprising gas storage space and enough magnetic character to allow magnetic dipoles therein to be enhanced during application of an applied field, and wherein a gas is stored within the gas storage space in the material. In embodiments, the gas is capable of diffusing through the material, and application of a field allows at least one of the following to be controlled: (a) gas solubility; (b) gas uptake; (c) gas discharge; and (d) gas mobility.
