Hydrogen Storage in Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Using Copper Nanoparticles as Catalyst

Abstract:

carbon nanotubes were synthesized by pyroysis method using copper nanoparticles as catalyst. The structure, phase composition and hydrogen storage capacity were investigated by TEM, XRD spectra and Electrochemical System. The results show that the diameter of carbon nanotubes is 200-500nm, The P-C-T curve of adsorbing hydrogen of samples was measured in the pressure up to 12 MPa at room temperature. we show that a SWNT can strongly adsorb up to 8-wt% hydrogen. These results advance our fundamental understanding of dissociative adsorption of hydrogen in nanostructures and suggest new routes to better storage and catalyst materials.
