Adsorbent material, THRIVE research. Micrograph showing the structure of a sample of highly porous inverse opal zeolite that is acting as an adsorbent. This structure has been shown to be advantageous for adsorption because of its high surface area while maintaining good thermal contact. Researchers from IBM Research and other institutes operate a project called THRIVE (Thermally Driven Heat Pumps for Substitution of Electricity and Fossil Fuels). The research focuses on adsorption heat pump (AdHP) technology, which relies on the use of adsorbent materials like silica gel. Image published in May 2015. | |
