Abstract
In this work, novel monolithic carbon aerogels obtained by using a polymer template method were characterized and evaluated for their applications in the hydrogen and deuterium adsorption capacity. The properties (i.e., surface area, pore size distribution, hydrogen and deuterium adsorption capacities, etc.) of the carbon aerogels were affected by the polymer templates. The results showed that the carbon aerogel with the molar ratio of polyacrylic acid (PAA) to zinc chloride (ZnCl2) being 0.75:40 was featured the highest surface area (1806 m2/g) and had the highest hydrogen adsorption capacity. Moreover, the deuterium adsorption capacity of the carbon aerogel was to be further elucidated.
