Mercedes-Benz F125!: fuel cell plug-in hybrid with Li-sulfur battery and structure integrated hydrogen storage with MOFs

Green Car Congress

With inner surfaces of up to 10,000 m 2 per gram—the current status of research—MOFs are attractive for numerous applications: they are suitable as gas cleaners for fuel cells, for example, and also, as envisaged for the F125!, as a storage medium for gases. This would represent roughly a doubling of current performance.
