ABSTRACTEntrapping hydrogen molecules within the nanopores of solid adsorbents serves as a unique alternative for on-board storing of hydrogen for transportation purposes. The key advantage of the physisorption process for hydrogen storage is the higher density values achieved with the adsorbed gas, compared to that of the compressed phase, translating into higher storage capacities at lower pressures. The necessary condition for effective adsorption is the presence of narrow micropores of < 2 nm in width which provide the most suitable environment of hydrogen adsorption. Despite numerous theoretical calculations or indirect experimental estimations, there has not been a direct experimental measurement of the density of adsorbed hydrogen as a function of pressure and/or pore size. In the present study, we report on the use of in-situ small angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study the phase behavior of hydrogen confined in narrow micropores. We provide for the first time direct experimental measurements of the effect of pore size and pressure on hydrogen adsorbed on a polyfurfuryl alcohol-derived activated carbon (PFAC), at room temperature and pressures up to 207 bar. SANS studies were carried out at the General-Purpose Small-Angle Neutron Scattering spectrometer of the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The measurements covered the Q-range from 0.01 to 0.8 Å-1, covering the pores in the range of 9 to 34 Å of the PFAC material. Initial results suggest that the density of adsorbed hydrogen is higher than the density of bulk hydrogen gas and increases with decreasing pore size.
