Description

Full text: Hydrogen storage is currently an intense area of research. Numerous materials are being investigated for this including: metal hydrides, various forms of carbon, zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. We have done preliminary work on hydrogen adsorption in the mesoporous silica MCM-41. This material consists of a regular array of cylindrical pores in amorphous silica and has been characterised by SAXS, N-2 adsorption and TEM. It has been shown to reversibly absorb hydrogen at 77 K. Modelling of SAXS data determines the pore morphology independent of N-2 adsorption. A minimum pore size, wall thickness and distance between pores are determined via modelling.
