About this book
This book shows the promising future and essential issues on the storage of the supercritical gases, including hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide, by adsorption with controlling the gas-solid interaction by use of designed nanoporous materials. It explains the reason why the storage of these gases with adsorption is difficult from the fundamentals in terms of gas-solid interaction. It consists of 14 chapters which describe fundamentals, application, key nanoporous materials (nanoporous carbon, metal organic frame works, zeolites) and their storage performance for hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide.
Thus, this book appeals to a wide readership of the academic and industrial researchers and it can also be used in the classroom for graduate students focusing on clean energy technology, green chemistry, energy conversion and storage, chemical engineering, nanomaterials science and technology, surface and interface science, adsorption science and technology, carbon science and technology, metal organic framework science, zeolite science, nanoporous materials science, nanotechnology, environmental protection, and gas sensors.

About the editors
Francisco Rodríguez-Reinoso obtained his doctorate from Granada University (Spain) in 1967. He did postdoctoral research at Bristol University (UK) and Pennsylvania State University (USA) from 1968 to 1971. He was then Associate professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Granada University until 1981 and since then Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Alicante University until 2011, where he is now Professor Emeritus. He is a world-recognized leader in the field of carbon materials, with expertise in activated carbon and carbon molecular sieves synthesis, characterization and utilization; carbons for storage of hydrogen, natural gas and carbon dioxide; carbon-supported catalysts, mesoporous carbons and carbon foams; isotropic graphite and its use in structural applications; and carbon-ceramic and carbon-metal composites. He was responsible for over 120 research projects and contracts at the University of Alicante and he has published over 400 articles in refereed journals and has supervised the theses of 51 Ph.D students. He was the founding president of the Spanish Carbon Group in 1991 and he is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Japan Carbon Award for Lifetime Achievement (2008), the SGL CArbon Award from the American Carbon Society (2010)and he was the Ubbelohde Lecturer from the British CArbon Group (2013). He was editor of the journal Carbon from 1991 to 2012.
