Carbon materials have been regarded as promising agents for hydrogen storage because of properties such as their light weight, acceptable affinity of carbon for hydrogen and high specific surface area. We can identify many different carbon materials which have been studied extensively such as activated carbons (AC) graphene sheets (GS), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and other derivative carbon materials derived from theoretical and experimental methods such as g-C3N4, graphyne and carbon nanolayer. These materials can be modified by additional ingredients like free metals, metal oxides, and alloys to improve their hydrogen storage capacity. In this short review article, we attempt to introduce new, reliable, complete and categorised data for researchers concentrating on articles from the last five years (2013–2017) relating to hydrogen storage.

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.
