Hydrogen storage carbon-based materials

Meregalli, V., M. Parrinello, Review of theoretical calculations of hydrogen storage in carbon-based materials. Appl. Phys. A 11,143-146,2001. 

The present paper is concerned with hydrogen storage in different crystalline solids. Such solids can be metal hydrides, carbon-based materials, and microporous materials. 

The possibility of using carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage thus depends on our ability to tune the dominating interactions with the H2 molecules so that their magnitude lies midway between the above-mentioned cases of physisorption (i.e, van der Waals) and chemisorption. Ideally, one would like to have binding energies between 0.2 and 0.8 eV, which would make it...

A wide range of materials are currently being considered as hydrogen storage media, including conventional metal hydrides, complex hydrides, chemical hydrides, carbon-based materials, Zeolites, MOFs, clathrates, and so on. In this section, some well-studied hydrogen storage...
