Abstract
Nickel/graphite hybrid materials were prepared by mixed acid treatment of graphite flakes, following metal nanoparticle deposition. The textural properties were studied by BET surface area measurement and t-plot methods with N 2/77 K adsorption isotherms. The hydrogen storage characteristics of the nickel/graphite at 298 K and 10 MPa were studied using a pressure–composition–temperature apparatus. The pore structure of the materials was studied as a function of processing conditions. In the optimum material, the hydrogen storage capacity was as high as 4.48 wt.%. The total amount of storage was not proportional to the specific surface area or metal content of the adsorbate. A dipole-induced model on nickel/carbon surfaces is proposed for the hydrogen storage mechanism.
