Studies of Hydrogen sorption on Mesoporous Carbon composite modified with adsorbed Palladium

Abstract

Ordered mesoporous carbon composite based on the matrix synthesis protocol using mesoporous oxides as a template was prepared and step-by-step structure formation was followed by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, N2 adsorption desorption and TPD mass-spectrometry. It was shown that property of composite is change considerably by Pd incorporation. Transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy show that the framework of the highly ordered mesoporous carbon/Pd consists of an aligned carbon phase with a graphite mode region. The potential application prepared composite for hydrogen storage is discussed.
