Electrochemical Hydrogen Storage of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

The study of hydrogen electrosorption in layered nickel foam/palladium/carbon nanofibers composite electrodes

“…Owing to structural and chemical properties the CNTs and CNFs are regarded as promising electrode materials for chemical power sources such as lithium-ion cells [1,2], supercapacitors [3][4][5] and reversible hydrogen reservoirs [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. During the last decade the ability of the mentioned carbon materials for storing hydrogen has attracted a great interest due to the possibility of modification of their physicochemical properties allowing the increase of hydrogen sorption.…”

A first-principles study of lithium absorption in boron- or nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes

“…Carbon nanotubes have potential applications in hydrogen storage [1,2] and rechargeable Li ion batteries [3]. In Li ion batteries, graphitic carbon anodes are used instead of metallic Li electrodes for the consideration of safety and cycle efficiency [4].…”

Study on overpotential of the electrochemical hydrogen storage of multiwall carbon nanotubes

“…3). The current peak of hydrogen oxidation is observed at about −700 mV when it is discharged, which move almost 100 mV negatively compared with other works [1]. It shows that the oxidative overpotential of hydrogen at Ni-MWNTs electrode is lower.…”

“…Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted tremendous interest because CNTs can transfer hydrogen energy into electrical energy easily and has better properties of charge-discharge and long recycle life, etc. Many studies on electrochemical hydrogen storage of CNTs have been reported during the recent years [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Nützenadel and his co-workers have studied the capability of hydrogen storage of CNTs by electrochemical method.…”

“…Furthermore, Donghui He et al have investigated the characteristics of electrochemical hydrogen storage of CNTs mixed with copper powder [4]. Qin and Lee have discussed the characteristic of electrochemical hydrogen storage of CNTs mixed with nickel powder [1,6]. Fazle Kibriaa and Prosini examined the characteristics of electrochemical hydrogen storage and cyclic voltammetric properties of a sample mixed with lithium [6][7][8].…”
