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 inherently variable nature of renewable energy sources makes them storage-dependent when providing a reliable and continuous energy supply. One feasible energy-storage option that could meet this challenge is storing surplus renewable energy in the form of hydrogen. In this context, storage of hydrogen electrochemically in porous carbon-based electrodes is investigated. Measurements of hydrogen storage capacity, proton conductivity, and capacitance due to electrical double layer of several porous activated carbon electrodes are reported. The hydrogen storage capacity of the tested electrodes is found in the range of 0.61−1.05 wt.%, which compares favorably with commercially available metal hydride-based hydrogen storage, lithium polymer batteries, and lithium ion batteries in terms of gravimetric energy density. The highest obtained proton conductivity was 0.0965 S/cm, which is near to that of the commercial polymer-based proton conductor, nafion 117, under fully hydrated conditions. The obtained capacitance due to double-layers of the tested electrodes was in the range of 28.3–189.4 F/g. The relationship between specific surface area, micropore volume and hydrogen storage capacity of the carbon electrodes is discussed. The contribution of capacitance to the equivalent hydrogen storage capacity of carbon electrodes is reported. The implications of the obtained experimental results are discussed.

AbstractActivated carbons and carbon nanotube were synthesized with chemical and microwave processes of olive leaf in media with and without ultrasonic waves, and chemical vapor deposition method, respectively. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction, calorimetry, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller method, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray, and zetasizer nano S90 instruments. The activated carbon synthesized in the ultrasonic bath had a higher surface area. The hydrogen adsorption capacity of carbon structures including activated carbons and carbon nanotube was measured as a function of pressure at 77 K. The hydrogen storage capacity of the carbon nanotube is 300% and 265% higher than the hydrogen storage capacity of activated carbons synthesized in medium without and with ultrasonic waves, respectively. Results showed the correlation between hydrogen storage capacity and specific surface area. The highest H2 storage value was obtained with carbon nanotube at 77 K. As a result, activated carbon and carbon nanotube can be used in hydrogen storage and therefore, the olive leaf can be converted into a high added value product in the energy field.
