Where this comes from

Abstract

Despite of more than 15 years of research, no materials possess the adsorbing properties required for mobile storage. At this time of state-of-the-art technology, the essential question should be asked: why is it so difficult to prepare a material with the desired properties? Here, we discuss the sources of physical limitations of existing materials and indicate the directions for further material research.
