“…Maximal sorption at these conditions is about 1wt% and even at much higher pressures of 300bar do not reach 2wt% [13]. This trend, sometimes called the "Chahine rule", [6,14] is valid for any type of carbon materials that store hydrogen by physisorption [15][16][17]. Similar trend is also observed for most of porous materials with high surface areas, e.g.…”

Hydrogen sorption by reduced graphene oxides (r-GO) is not found to increase after decoration with Pd and Pt nanoparticles. Treatments of metal decorated samples using annealing under hydrogen or air were tested as a method to create additional pores by effects of r-GO etching around nanoparticles. Increase of Specific Surface Area (SSA) was observed for some air annealed r-GO samples. However, the same treatments applied to activated r-GO samples with microporous nature and higher surface area result in breakup of structure and dramatic decrease of SSA. Our experiments have not revealed effects which could be attributed to spillover in hydrogen sorption on Pd or Pt decorated graphene. However, we report irreversible chemisorption of hydrogen for some samples which can be mistakenly assigned to spillover if the experiments are incomplete.

“…Finally, it is important to note that, in difference to other studies [7,12,18,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], all the samples of the present study come from a given precursor. Thus, the possible effects of other pristine sample properties like for example the materials macrostructure, ash-content, etc.…”

“…This fraction needs to be removed from the tank in order to avoid increasing pressures which would destroy the tank. In addition, a significant amount of its chemical energy (approximately one third) is needed in order to liquefy the hydrogen [3,7]. A third method for increasing the low density of hydrogen is to bind it to materials.…”

In a previous study, we investigated, at a laboratory scale, the chemical activation of two different carbon fibres (CF), their porosity characterization, and their optimization for hydrogen storage [1]. In the present work, this study is extended to: (i) a larger range of KOH activated carbon fibres, (ii) a larger range of hydrogen adsorption measurements at different temperatures and pressures (i.e. at room temperature, up to 20 MPa, and at 77 K, up to 4 MPa), and (iii) a scaling-up activation approach in which the obtained activated carbon fibres (ACF) are compared with those from laboratory-scale activation. The prepared samples cover a large range of porosities, which is found to govern their ability for hydrogen adsorption. The hydrogen uptake capacities of all the prepared samples have been analysed both in volumetric and in gravimetric bases. Thus, maximum adsorption capacities of around 5 wt.% are obtained at 77 K, and 1.1 wt.% at room temperature, respectively. The packing densities of the materials have been measured, turning out to play an important role in order to estimate the total storage capacity of a tank volume. Maximum values of 17.4 g l −1 at 298 K, and 38.6 g l −1 at 77 K were obtained.

“…In this early work, Kidnay and Hiza reported~2 wt pct hydrogen storage at 76 K (À197°C) and 25 atm using coconut-shell-derived charcoal. Since then, numerous investigations have demonstrated that activated carbon can store 4 to 6 wt pct hydrogen at moderately low pressures (~40 bar) and cryogenic temperatures (~77 K [~À196°C]) (e.g., see the reviews by Dillon and Heben, [109] Be´nard and Chahine, [110] Poirier et al, [111] Carpetis and Peschka, [112] Hynek et al, [113] and the work by Schwarz et al [114,115] However, work by Stro¨bel and colleagues show that only~1.6 wt pct hydrogen storage has been measured for activated/ porous carbons at ambient temperatures, even with pressures up to 125 atm. [116] It should be noted that typical hydrogen storage values at ambient temperatures of activated carbons are significantly lower.…”

A technical review of the progress achieved in hydrogen storage materials development through the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office and the three Hydrogen Storage Materials Centers of Excellence (CoEs), which ran from 2005 to 2010 is presented. The three CoEs were created to develop reversible metal hydrides, chemical hydrogen storage materials, and high-specific-surface-area (SSA) hydrogen sorbents. For each CoE, the approach taken is specified, key outcomes and accomplishments identified, and recommendations for future work are suggested. The Metal Hydride Center of Excellence addresses work on destabilized hydrides, including the LiBH/Mg 2 NiH 4 system, borohydrides, amides, and alanes; and compares the best materials to DOE targets. The Chemical Hydrogen Storage Center of Excellence discusses the classes of materials studied for chemical hydrogen storage, focusing on ammonia borane and examines the progress in developing efficient regeneration schemes. The Hydrogen Sorption Center of Excellence describes the progress in developing high-SSA sorbents and pathways for developing improved materials capable of achieving DOE targets. The phenomenon of spillover is also observed and its importance to ensuring improved measurements is discussed. Through the five-year effort of the Hydrogen Storage Materials Centers of Excellence, significant progress was achieved in developing and understanding hydrogen storage materials.
