Abstract
This work aims at resolving the discrepancy between theoretical predictions on the physical adsorption of molecular hydrogen on carbonaceous solids, by exploiting molecular dynamics simulations of the adsorption process. In continuance of our previous work, three models were constructed for the depiction of the microporous carbonaceous structure. The first one (SSM) consisted of only two parallel sheets, being the lightest one used. The second (IHM) and third (HWM) models comprised structural imperfections in the form of pits and holes into their structure. Structural imperfections seemed to have a slight augmentative effect on the adsorption process. It was concluded that the addition of extra sheets to the walls did not result to any enhancement of the adsorption efficiency of the solid model. On the contrary, the lightest model exhibited superb results for the % weight-by-weight adsorption of hydrogen, approaching the highest value reported. Finally, a couple of suggestions on the development of a material for the storage of hydrogen were derived, based on the above conclusions.
