ABSTRACTWe performed density-functional calculations to search for adsorption sites and predict maximum hydrogen storage capacity in carbon nanotubes. Our calculations show that the storage capacity of hydrogen, limited by the repulsive forces between H2 molecules inside nanotubes, increases linearly with tube diameters in single-walled nanotubes, whereas this value is independent of tube diameters in multi-walled nanotubes. We predict that H storage capacity in (10,10) nanotubes can exceed 14 wt % (161 kg H2/m3).

Discharging Capacity

The electrode(Ni-MWNTs) containing nickel(Ni) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was prepared by composite electrodeposit. Electrochemical hydrogen storage of the electrode was studied. The result showed a high electrochemical discharging capacity of up to 1361.1mA·h·g-1, which corresponds to a hydrogen storage capacity of 4.77Wt%(weight percent). Test of cyclic lifespan showed MWNTs had certain cyclic lifespan. Cyclic voltammetry tests showed that MWNTs can store hydrogen in chemical form.

Nature of the interaction potential of different adsorbates on different zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated. The intermolecular potentials for H2 absorbed in carbon nanotubes (5, 0), (6, 0), (7, 0), (8, 0), (9, 0), and (10, 0) are computed and sketched. This study is extended to N2 adsorbed on (4, 0) and BH3 adsorbed on (10, 0) tubes. The equilibrium positions of the adsorbates obtained from the potential model serve as an initial guess in designing the CNT + adsorbate complex in the simulation cell and this process considerably reduces the computation time. Further, the hydrogen storage capacity of CNT(10,0) + BH3 complex is calculated. The estimated storage capacity of this system is in the range 6–12 wt.%.
