Dr. Mukunda Mandal, Professors Laura Gagliardi and John Anderson, together with Professor Omar Farha at Northwestern University, have developed a novel catalyst design that enhances the safety and efficiency of hydrogen storage and transport. By engineering metal–sulfur active sites within metal–organic frameworks, the team has improved Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs), enabling hydrogen to be stored and delivered in a stable, liquid form compatible with existing fuel infrastructure. This advancement marks an important step toward practical and safer hydrogen fuel technologies.
