Abstract
Theoretical limits of the hydrogen adsorption in carbon nanospaces are modeled using Monte Carlo simulations. A detailed analysis of storage capacity of slit pores has been performed as a function of the pore size, gas pressure (up to 100 bars) and temperature of adsorption (77 and 298 K). The H 2–slit wall interaction has been modeled assuming energies of adsorption ranging from 4.5 kJ/mol (pure graphene surface) to 15 kJ/mol (hypothetical chemically modified graphene). The quantum nature of H 2 has been incorporated in the calculations using the Feynman–Hibbs approach. It has been shown that in a hypothetical chemically modified porous carbon, with energy of adsorption of 15 kJ/mol or higher and pore size between 0.8 and 1.1 nm, the gravimetric and volumetric storage capacity can achieve targets required for practical applications. The relation between the energy of adsorption and the effective delivery has been discussed.
