Nanocomposite Materials for High Capacity Hydrogen Storage

Abstract

Novel nanocomposite materials for solid state hydrogen storage were developed to exploit a low-cost high-capacity hydrogen storage material that can be used in fuel cell vehicles. Nanocomposite hydrogen storage materials composed of nanocarbons and sorption enhancing metal and/or nonmetal nanoparticles were made. Results of depositing Pd nanoparticles on sonochemically treated carbon nanotubes (CNT) were presented. the Pd/CNT composite materials showed enhanced hydrogen sorptive capacity at ambient temperatures over the chemically treated CNT. a 4 wt % of hydrogen uptake was observed. by manipulating the treatment conditions during the development of the nanoparticles, different sized Pd nanoparticles were formed. the Pd/CNT with the smaller Pd particle size showed the greatest enhancement in the hydrogen uptake. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE National Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
