Methods for enhancing hydrogen spillover and storage are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes doping a hydrogen receptor with metal particles, and exposing the hydrogen receptor to ultrasonication as doping occurs. Another embodiment of the method includes doping a hydrogen receptor with metal particles, and exposing the doped hydrogen receptor to a plasma treatment.

Enhancing hydrogen spillover and storage

A composition for hydrogen storage includes a source of hydrogen atoms, a receptor, and a chemical bridge formed between the source and the receptor. The chemical bridge is formed from a precursor material. The receptor is adapted to receive hydrogen spillover from the source.

The present invention is an apparatus for containing and dispensing a high purity fluid comprising an outer vessel capable of containing a quantity of high purity fluid in its interior; an outlet associated with the outer vessel for dispensing the high purity fluid; a valve capable of controlling high purity fluid flow out of the outer vessel through the outlet; an inner vessel at least partly situated in the outer vessel and communicating with the outlet and an inlet which communicates with the interior of the outer vessel; a purification media contained within the inner vessel for purifying the high purity fluid of undesired components; and fluid flow control device which prevents high purity fluid from flowing from the inner vessel to the interior of the outer vessel.

Built in purifier for reactive gases

A process and system for conditioning a bulk container for ultra-high purity liquefied gas. Vapor is generated in the container from a conditioning quantity of the ultra-high purity liquefied gas by imposing a temperature difference on the container so that the vapor condenses when a temperature difference is achieved. The resulting liquid reflux, e.g., the condensed liquid drips or flows back to the conditioning quantity of the liquified gas, washes or removes contaminants, e.g., particles, metal and moisture, from the interior surface of the container. A portion of the vapor is vented from the container for reclamation. The used conditioning liquid may also be reclaimed.
