Manipulation of the crystalline phase diagram of hydrogen through nanoscale confinement effects in porous carbons
Abstract
Confinement of H2 in subnanometre pores of microporous carbon stabilizes the lowest energy crystal confirmation at higher temperatures. Change in H2 phase behaviour shown to be caused by severe loss of rotational freedom and energy upon confinement.
