Nanocapsule with pump for methane storage
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 13:9863-9870, 2011
A nanocapsule for high-effective methane storage is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. Methane molecules are pumped into a nanocapsule via pumping and locking chambers by the K@C(60)(1) (+) ions moved by the electric field. When such a technique is used, the methane weight content in the nanocapsule reaches 36.4 wt%. At the methane storage stage the external thermodynamic conditions are normal. This paper presents the analysis of the processes taking place during the nanocapsule charging with methane, its storage and desorption.
