Nanocomposite Materials for Hydrogen Storage

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes was modified under various conditions and used to form nanocomposite adsorbents by introducing metal and/or nonmetal nanoparticles. the surface area, pore size morphology and hydrogen sorptive capacity was measured using a Quantachrome Autosorb 1C instrument. This approach was aimed to make a nanocomposite hydrogen storage material composed of nanocarbons and sorption enhancing nanoparticles. a series of nanocomposites was prepared and the parameters affecting the number and type of binding sites and heat of reaction for a broad range of modified carbon nanotubes were eluciadted. the chemical/electronic effects of the added nanoparticles were studied to provide guidance for maximization of the hydrogen storage capabilities in the nanocomposite materials. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Spring Annual Meeting - the 5th World Congress on Particle Technology (Orlando, FL 4/23-27/2006).
