AB  - ZSM-5 zeolite possesses a three-dimensional network of microporous channels formed by oxygen-linked Si and Al tetrahedra, which confers a high surface area, stability, and hydrophobic properties that increase with the Si/Al ratio. These characteristics make ZSM-5 a suitable material for the adsorption of gases such as hydrogen. In pure ZSM-5, hydrogen storage occurs primarily through physisorption in the micropores, exhibiting type I isotherms and an adsorption capacity that increases with pressure, especially at low temperatures. The relatively low adsorption energy indicates weak interactions that keep the hydrogen in a molecular state and allow for its reversible release. However, the storage capacity can be significantly modified by the incorporation of metals, which generate new active sites capable of activating or even dissociating hydrogen, partially altering the adsorption mechanism. Despite these advantages, the microporous nature of ZSM-5 can limit diffusion and mass transfer efficiency. Therefore, strategies such as the creation of hierarchical structures with mesopores, variation of composition and synthesis of the material represent key parameters of research to improve its performance in hydrogen storage applications.
