Application
Methane is a colourless, odourless, and flammable gas that is lighter than air. Methane is used as a fuel for power generation in gas turbines and steam boilers; household cooking and heating, and for vehicles (compressed natural gas, CNG). It is also a feedstock of choice for production of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methanol, acetic acid, and myriad organic compounds. Gas is easy to handle in a small, light pressure can, while the disposable container allows for aluminium recycling when finished.
Features and Benefits
Methane is used as a carbon source for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbide and diamond thin films.

Low-field NMR relaxation-exchange measurements for the study of gas admission in microporous solids.
Neil Robinson et al.
Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 22(24), 13689-13697 (2020-06-12)
Understanding the uptake and storage of gases by microporous materials is important for our future energy security. As such, we demonstrate here the application of two-dimensional NMR relaxation experiments for probing the admission and corresponding exchange dynamics of methane within
