Abstract
A comparative research related to hydrogen adsorption capacity of multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs) doped with Platinum (Pt), Ruthenium (Ru) and Iridium (Ir) was carried out. Carbonic materials are considered to be one of the most promising materials for hydrogen adsorption and storage;they have different applications and fuel cells technology may be considered the most important of them. By using transitional metals for doping carbonic materials, the adsorption capacity increases, can approach the target of 6.5% weight ratio of H2 adsorbed in a substrate. The doping procedure consists in a physical or chemical method which involves metal for doping of a nano carbon structure. The use of ultrasounds is known in order to activate the substrate by inducing fractures within its internal structure. The adsorption capacity of the carbonic materials, which is a consequence of spill over phenomena, has been determined both by physical adsorption and by cyclic voltammetry. The substrates have been characterized in order to determine their BET and microspores surface and structure. The collected data related to the adsorption capacity have been processed by using a dedicated software. The results have been compared with the available data from literature and a good consistency was found.

A comparative research related to hydrogen adsorption capacity of multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs) doped with Platinum (Pt), Ruthenium (Ru) and Iridium (Ir) was carried out
In more cases solidphase used as substrate for hydrogen storage is multi-wall nanotubes (MWNT)
The increased hydrogen storage capacity of metal doped MWNT is attributed to the initial hydrogen adsorption by metal nanoparticles which subsequently dissociate the hydrogen molecules and spill them over to carbon nanotubes [2]
Summary
A comparative research related to hydrogen adsorption capacity of multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs) doped with Platinum (Pt), Ruthenium (Ru) and Iridium (Ir) was carried out. By using transitional metals for doping carbonic materials, the adsorption capacity increases, can approach the target of 6.5% weight ratio ionfvHol2veasdsmoerbtaeldfoinr a substrate. It has been observed that the hydrogen storage capacity of nano-structured carbon materials can be enhanced by tailoring their surface properties and sample characteristics [2]. There are several paper approaches regarding the surface properties enhancement by using high frequency ultrasounds in order to induce structural fractures within the carbonic material. The increased hydrogen storage capacity of metal doped MWNT is attributed to the initial hydrogen adsorption by metal nanoparticles which subsequently dissociate the hydrogen molecules and spill them over to carbon nanotubes [2]. Pores of molecular dimension can absorb large quantities of gasses, enhanced density of the adsorbed materials inside the pores being a consequence of the attractive potential of the porous walls [11]
