Abstract
The low temperature hydrogen adsorption capacity of mesopores silica aerogel was investigated and compared with that of other large pore silica based materials (MCM-41, HMS) within a range of surface area and large (2 nm) to very large (20 nm) pore sizes. The hydrogen uptake of the aerogel measured at pressure of 1 bar and a temperature of 77 K is around 2.5 times lower than that of MCM-41, although it has a comparable specific surface area (just 30% smaller). The explanation found is the relation between lower hydrogen heat of adsorption and larger pore size for the investigated materials, which leads to higher surface coverage in the smaller pores.
