Investigation of Hydrogen Storage in Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Fuel Cells

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA502993 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Out of the four systemsNH3, AlH3, NiH3 and BH3 theoretically investigated, the single walled Carbon Nanotube SWCNT functionalized with BH3 is found to be suitable hydrogen storage medium. It has hydrogen storage capacity, 11.5 wt and the corresponding H2 desorption temperature is 306 K. The system has to be fine tuned for a better performance.
