Hydrogen (H2) is largely regarded as a potential cost-efficient clean fuel primarily due to its beneficial properties, such as its high energy content and sustainability. With the rising demand for H2 in the past decades and its favorable characteristics as an energy carrier, the escalating USA consumption of pure H2 can be projected to reach 63 million tons by 2050. Despite the tremendous potential of H2 generation and its widespread application, transportation and storage of H2 have remained the major challenges of a sustainable H2 economy. Various efforts have been undertaken by storing H2 in activated carbons, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), etc. Recently, the literature has been stressing the need to develop biomass-based activated carbons as an effective H2 storage material, as these are inexpensive adsorbents with tunable chemical, mechanical, and morphological properties. This article reviews the current research trends and perspectives on the role of various properties of biomass-based activated carbons on its H2 uptake capacity. The critical aspects of the governing factors of H2 storage, namely, the surface morphology (specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution), surface functionality (heteroatom and functional groups), physical condition of H2 storage (temperature and pressure), and thermodynamic properties (heat of adsorption and desorption), are discussed. A comprehensive survey of the literature showed that an “ideal” biomass-based activated carbon sorbent with a micropore size typically below 10 Å, micropore volume greater than 1.5 cm3/g, and high surface area of 4000 m2/g or more may help in substantial gravimetric H2 uptake of >10 wt% at cryogenic conditions (−196 °C), as smaller pores benefit by stronger physisorption due to the high heat of adsorption.

“…Loading biochar with nickel without using sensitization or activation pretreatments can also produce sorbents for hydrogen. FigueroaTorres et al [64] dispersed an even layer of Ni nanoparticles on Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak) biochar-derived activated carbon using a hydrazine based bath at 50 1C. Results indicated that hydrogen storage capacity of the nickel loaded activated carbon was 1.6 wt%, which was two times higher than that of activated carbon without the nickel layer.…”

“…Recently, the deposition of Ni nanoparticles on a potassium hydroxide (KOH) activated carbon (AC) investigated by an electroless deposition (ED) technique without using sensitization and activation surface pretreatments. The hydrogen storage capacity of the AC can be improved through Ni loading; which results in a hydrogen storage enhancement factor of two compared with the Ni-free AC [104].…”
