The Division of Chemistry (Experimental Physical Chemistry Program) and the Office of International Science and Engineering support Prof. Mohamed El-Shall of Virginia Commonwealth University and his post-doctoral fellows in this collaborative project with colleagues at the National Research Centre in Egypt in an investigation of the chemical and physical properties of a series of potential hydrogen storage materials. The materials to be studied include novel zeolites, Mg-based alloys, and metal-doped carbon nanotubes. This project is being supported by the U.S. - Egypt Joint Board for Science and Technology, which is funding both the U.S. and Egyptian sides of the collaboration.Research like that of El-Shall and his colleagues is aimed at developing better materials for safe, high-density storage of hydrogen for use in fuel-cell devices. Besides the potential for broad societal and technological impact of research in hydrogen storage materials, this international collaboration will help to build strong ties between Egyptian and American scientists and will help to train the next generation of globally-engaged scientists.

化学部（实验物理化学计划）和国际科学与工程办公室支持弗吉尼亚联邦大学的Mohamed El-Shall教授和他的博士后研究员与埃及国家研究中心的同事合作，调查一系列潜在储氢材料的化学和物理性质。 待研究的材料包括新型沸石、镁基合金和金属掺杂的碳纳米管。 该项目得到了美国-埃及科学技术联合委员会的支持，该委员会为美国和埃及双方的合作提供资金。El-Shall和他的同事们的研究旨在开发更好的材料，用于安全，高密度的氢存储，用于燃料电池设备。 除了储氢材料研究可能产生广泛的社会和技术影响外，这种国际合作将有助于在埃及和美国科学家之间建立牢固的联系，并将有助于培养下一代全球参与的科学家。
