Abstract
Hydrogen storage is the main bottleneck for establishing PEM fuel cell driven cars as the main source of automobiles in future. Metal doped ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was studied as hydrogen storing material in ambient temperature. OMC was synthesized using soft template route or self assembly followed by doping of four different metals, Pd, Pt, Ni, and Ru at different concentrations (1, 5, and 10%). At low and high pressure and ambient temperature hydrogen uptake increased for all the metals and for all concentrations. 1% Ni doped OMC showed maximum hydrogen uptake both in low pressure 0.12%) and high pressure (2.14%) conditions. Increase in metal content resulted in decrease in hydrogen uptake for Ni contrary to other three metals which showed the opposite effect. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Montreal, Quebec, Canada 8/23-27/2009).
