Effect of metal addition to carbon on hydrogen storage

Abstract

The hydrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms of activated carbon loaded with Pd were measured at 40 ºC over the hydrogen pressure range 0-3.2 MPa. The hydrogen storage capacity of activated carbon loaded with and without Pd were 0.43 and 0.16 mass% at 40 ºC under hydrogen pressure of 3.2 MPa, respectively. Thus, the Pd load had an effect on the hydrogen storage capacities of activated carbon.
