In this paper, we report the synthesis of polymer coated palladium ( Pd ) nanoparticles through a single stage reduction of Pd 2+ ions by ethylene glycol. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, MW 25,000) is used as a stabilizer. Self-assembled Pd nanoparticles (10–40 nm) were used in hydrogen adsorption studies. Gravimetric adsorption measurements were carried out in a pressure range of 0–26 bar at 293, 324, 364 and 392 K. Saturation for all isotherms was obtained within a few bars of pressure at all temperatures. Maximum hydrogen storage capacity observed was 0.58 wt.% at 324 K and 20 bar. Net adsorption calculations indicated that required tank volume (for storing a particular amount of hydrogen) can be significantly reduced by using a tank filled with Pd nanoparticle.

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 hydrogen adsorption on platinum (Pt)-decorated carbon nanocenes (CNCs) are investigated by DFT calculations. The Pt is an active site for hydrogen adsorption while curvature of CNC enhances hydrogen uptake via hydrogen migration/diffusion on the C–C surface.

With the aid of molecular simulations, a new aluminum organic framework structure is designed, and the hydrogen storage capability of the designed structure is studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo technique. Results show that the hydrogen storage capacity of aluminum organic framework at 77 K and 1 MPa is about 430 hydrogen molecules per unit cell, the corresponding weight density be equivalent to 17.45 wt.%. The preferential adsorption site is located at the aluminum–oxygen cluster. Hydrogen molecules are preferentially distributed on the surface of Al ions. The complexation of organic linkers with Al ions is found to be in favor of the adsorption of hydrogen.

Rh adatom stability on graphene, with and without defects has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The feasibility to achieve uniform dispersion for the metallic atom and the hydrogen storage capacity for each system were evaluated.

Zeolites belong to a most prominent class of nanoporous materials which have been considered as potential sorbents for hydrogen storage. The adsorption of hydrogen molecules on MFI, MOR and LTA zeolites, which encompass a range of different pore structure and chemical composition, has been simulated employing Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method. We compare their capacities of hydrogen storage at different temperatures and pressures. The results show that the adsorbed amounts is in order of LTA>MOR>MFI at the same condition. The effects of pore structure of zeolites, temperature and pressure on the hydrogen adsorption has been examined. The results clearly show that: (1) the temperature effect on the adsorption decreases with decreasing in the number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed. (2) A large volume of micropores and a suitable diameter near to the kinetic diameter of a hydrogen molecule are important for improving the hydrogen-storage capacity of zeolites. Based on this, we can conclude that the LTA zeolite with a large pore volume and a suitable channel diameter exhibits a most efficient hydrogen storage capacity than MOR and MFI zeolites.

This study investigates the effects of varying the spiked iron content of iron/carbon nanopowder (Fe/CNP) composite materials on hydrogen storage capacity. Among four such samples, a maximum hydrogen uptake of approximately 0.48 wt% was obtained with 14 wt% of spiked iron under 37 atm and 300 K. This higher hydrogen uptake capacity was believed to be closely related to the physisorption mechanism rather than chemisorption. In this case, the formation of maghemite catalyzed the attraction of hydrogen molecules and the CNP skeleton was the principal absorbent material for hydrogen storage. However, as the iron content exceeded 14 wt%, the formation of larger and poorly dispersed maghemite grains reduced the available surface areas of CNP for the storage of hydrogen molecules, leading to decreased uptake. Our study shows that hydrogen uptake capacities can be improved by appropriately adjusting the surface polarities of the CNP with well dispersed iron oxides crystals.
