Abstract
Abstract: In this study, Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) were synthesized from plant filaments and were investigated for the hydrogen adsorption capacity. Synthesis was carried out using Bagasse-a plant waste materials by pyrolyzing at high temperature of 700℃ in an inert atmosphere and were activated by different alkali solutions. The activated carbon fibres were further loaded with nano size bimetal particles. The SEM images show highly porous carbon nano structures impregnated with different combinations of metals. The EDAX and SEM confirmed the presence of bimetals. Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction indicates the presence of crystalline and amorphous carbon material. The designed carbon nanomaterial with bimetal particles has the higher specific surface area (SSA) than the carbon obtained without activation which was confirmed by the BET analysis. This makes it a front runner for its utilization in hydrogen adsorption among numerous others. The adsorption was studied using a Sievert’s apparatus
