AbstractThe hydrogen adsorption capacity of various carbon nanostructures including single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphitic nanofibers, activated carbon, and graphite has been measured as a function of pressure and temperature. Our results show that at room temperature and a pressure of 80 bar the hydrogen storage capacity is less than 1 wt.% for all samples. Upon cooling, the capacity of hydrogen adsorption increases with decreasing temperature and the highest value was observed to be 2.9 wt. % at 50 bar and 77 K. The correlation between hydrogen storage capacity and specific surface area is discussed.

The paper mainly focuses on the ability of absorbing hydrogen molecule of the dimetallocene (C5H5)2TM2(TM=Ti/Zn/Cu/Ni) based on the first-principles calculation. The result indicates that these compounds can adsorb up to eight hydrogen molecules, the binding energy is 0.596eV/H2 for Cp2Ti2, 0.802eV/H2 for Cp2Zn2, 0.422eV/H2 for Cp2Cu2 and 0.182eV/H2 for Cp2Ni2 respectively. The corresponding gravimetric hydrogen-storage capacity is 7.1wt% for Cp2Ti2, 6.2wt% for Cp2Zn2, 6.3wt% for Cp2Cu2 and 6.5wt% for Cp2Ni2 respectively. These sandwich-type organometallocenes proposed in this work are favorable for reversible adsorption and desorption of hydrogen under ambient conditions. These predictions will likely provide a new route for developing novel high-capacity hydrogen-storage materials.

nanocrystalline mixed oxides containing magnesium, nickel and chromium (MNCM) have been synthesized as an adsorbent using coprecipitation method and showed its reversible hydrogen storage capacity at ambient conditions using fixed bed. XRD and ICP-MS analyses ensured the adsorbents phase and homogeneity. The microstructure of mixed oxide has been investigated using FESEM and BET and TEM technique respectively. The adsorbent consisted of mesoporous surface with a surface area of 254-370 m2gm-1and SAED pattern showed that the adsorbents are poly-crystalline. The mixed oxides exhibited a 3.2 wt% H2storage capacity and release 57% of adsorbed H2. Adsorption enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) change of-27.58 kJ/mol and-70.21 J/mol.K are indicating favorable thermodynamics for reversible hydrogen storage material.

Solid-state hydrogen storage through the reversible formation of metallic hydrides is a key issue for the development of hydrogen as an energy vector. Here the hydrogen storage kinetics of the reaction between KSi and KSiH3have been strongly enhanced by catalyst addition. The reaction is perfectly reversible near ambient conditions with a 4.1 wt% hydrogen storage capacity.

Various carbon nanostructures, including graphene, are very promising for application in hydrogen storage. One of the promising ways to increase the hydrogen storage capacity of graphene is crumpling. In this work, an increase of hydrogen binding energy to graphene with ripple is studied by first-principle calculations. It is shown that binding energy can be considerably increased for hydrogen atom attached outside the cavity of graphene ripple. Further, by molecular dynamics simulation, it is shown that physisorption of hydrogen in the cavities of crumpled graphene is also very promising if hydrostatic compression is applied to the structure. The volumetric density of hydrogen storage can be increased for 14% for the compressed crumpled graphene in comparison with undeformed structure. Results obtained by two simulation techniques showed that crumpled graphene can be considered as a very promising media for hydrogen storage both by chemisorption and physisorption.

Carbon nanostructures were reported to be very promising materials for hydrogen storage, and a great deal of interest has been focused on adsorption of molecular hydrogen in carbon nanostructures. Although many experimental results for hydrogen storage in carbon nanostructures were reported, corresponding theoretical studies have not been developed and adsorption mechanisms have not been fully identified. Better understanding of molecular level phenomena provides clues to designing hydrogen storage that performs better. Atomic simulations are useful in the evaluation of hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes. In this paper, molecular simulations of hydrogen physisorption in carbon nanotubes were conducted. Hydrogen density distribution near carbon nanotubes was studied, and hydrogen storage capability is determined by computing hydrogen to carbon atom ratio. The peak hydrogen concentration around the nanostructures was simulated to be located relatively consistently around 3 angstroms away from each nanostructure.
