💡 Successful kick-off for the Core-H2storage project!
The focus is on cost-effective, scalable and resource-efficient systems that enable #hydrogen to be stored at ambient temperature and a maximum pressure of 3.5 MPa. Specifically, the project partners are working on a prototype based on the use of two different materials: silica #aerogels and high-entropy alloys.

The project is funded by the Clean Energy Transition Partnership.

#DidYouKnow:#Aerogels are a class of synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a #Gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas, without significant collapse of the gel structure.

Aerogels can be particularly useful for thermal #Insulation in extreme low-temperature and low pressure environments.

World's Lightest Solid!

Aerogels are the world's lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission. The focus of this video is silica aerogels, though graphene aerogels are now technically the lightest.

At one point Dr. Steven Jones literally held the Guinness World Record for making the lightest aerogel and therefore lightest solid. If you're interested in learning more about aerogels, let me know in the comments as there is a potential trilogy in the works...
