Abstract
Hydrogen adsorption in ball-milled graphite is investigated in the low temperature range from 110 to 35 K and at pressures up to 20 MPa. The adsorption data are compared to the results of detailed quantitative microstructural analyses of the samples used for the adsorption experiments. The amount of hydrogen adsorbed at temperatures well below 77 K exceeds considerably that what is expected from adsorption on plane graphitic planes. The results can be explained assuming the following mechanisms: (i) adsorption in trapping states on plane surfaces at and below 110 K; (ii) adsorption in small micropores with diameter of less than 1 nm at 77 K and pressure of 10 MPa, and (iii) multilayer adsorption in mesopores at temperatures from 35 to 40 K and pressure of 2 MPa. The effects observed in the low temperature range are reversible and make the investigated material interesting as a supporting component for liquid hydrogen storage systems.
