Abstract

The 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.
