Research Interests

Hydrogen storage as solid hydrates is regarded as safe method with increased energy density prospect, particularly when impacted by thermodynamic promoters. Hence, the focus is to investigate the hydrogen storage capacity. It is believed that our findings will build a starting base for future studies on developing hydrate-based hydrogen storage.
