Description:
Objective:This is one of the subprojects conducted by the Center for Environmental and Energy Research (CEER). The objectives of this research project are to: (1) provide data needed to demonstrate that hydrogen storage in hollow glass microspheres combined with our recent discovery of photo-enhanced diffusion can produce hydrogen supply rates sufficient for commercial applications; (2) optimize experimental parameters (wavelength of radiation, base glass composition, glass dopants) to provide a highly efficient combination of material and photon source; (3) demonstrate that the glasses developed can be formed into microspheres; and (4) determine the mechanism causing this previously unsuspected phenomenon.
