The shorter driving range is the challenge of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a vehicular fuel. In this study, adsorbent is prepared from coconut shells using KOH microwave activation to overcome the challenge of CNG storage system. The CNG storage system has some disadvantages which include high-pr...
