Abstract:
1. A method for storing a gas on a porous adsorbent, the method comprising the steps of: selecting said porous adsorbent having a first chemical composition; determining a first pore size distribution for the porous adsorbent having the first chemical composition, wherein the first pore size distribution provides a constant or increasing isosteric enthalpy of adsorption as a function of uptake of the gas on an exposed surface of the porous adsorbent; providing the porous adsorbent having a first plurality of ordered pore structures characterized by the first pore size distribution; and contacting the porous adsorbent with the gas at a pressure sufficient to achieve adsorption of the gas on the porous adsorbent characterized by the constant or increasing isosteric enthalpy of adsorption as a function of uptake of the gas, thereby storing the gas on the porous adsorbent.
