SRNL Develops New Permeable Microspheres; Potential for Hydrogen Storage

Posted on June 06, 2008

SRNL researchers removed the top of a glass microsphere to show how palladium has easily passed through the sphere s pores and assembled itself into a new nanostructure. Click to enlarge. Credit: Savannah River National Lab, American Ceramic SocietyResearchers at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) have developed a novel material called Porous Wall-Hollow Glass Microspheres (PW-HGM) tiny glass microballoons 2-100 microns in diameter. The distinguishing characteristic of the microspheres is the interconnected porosity of their thin outer walls that can be produced and varied on a ...
