Carbon nanotubes and nanoporous activated carbons served as adsorbents for hydrogen storage. Carbon nanotubes were prepared by a special chemical vapor deposition method over a Co‐Mo/MgO catalyst, and nanoporous activated carbons were obtained from walnut shells. According to the Fourier transform infrared analysis, oxygenated functional groups were formed on the structures. The X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy results let conclude that the structures were not damaged by the acidic vapor method. The maximum experimental value for adsorption capacity was achieved under elevated pressure. The highest capacity of H2 adsorption was detected for nitric acid‐modified carbon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
