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.

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.

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.%.

Single Wall Carbon

The hydrogen storage on single wall carbon is studied by using the first principle based on density functional theory (DFT). It concludes that the adsorption of hydrogen on the bare distorted single carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be enhanced dramatically when the single wall carbon nanotubes are rotated along the tubs axis. On the other hand, it suggests that the hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs depend on the deformation angles.
