Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with high surface area and pore volume were modified with metal Ni impregnation and fluorination and investigated hydrogen storage properties by volumetric method. Micropore volume values of ACFs obtained from surface modification with Ni impregnation and fluorination were decreased 9 and 35 %, respectively. Hydrogen storage capacities of fluorinated ACFs were slightly changed, on the other hand, that of Ni impregnated ACF was considerably increased. It means that hydrogen was not only adsorbed on ACF surface, but also on Ni metal surface by means of dissociation. Although the microphone volume of ACF modified with fluorination was decreased, its hydrogen storage were found not to be changed compared with fresh ACF. These results indicated that the surface of ACF after fluorination modification may be strongly attracted hydrogen due to high electronegativity of fluorine. Therefore, it was proven that hydrogen storage capacity was related with micropore volume and surface property of carbon materials as well as specific surface area.

The hydrogen storage mechanism of graphite was studied by measuring the electrical resistance change. Graphite was expanded and activated to allow for an easy hydrogen molecule approach and to enlarge the adsorption sites. A vanadium catalyst was simultaneously introduced on the graphite during the activation process. The hydrogen storage increased due to the effects of expansion, activation, and the catalyst. In addition, the electrical resistance of the prepared samples was measured during hydrogen molecule adsorption to investigate the hydrogen adsorption mechanism. It was found that the electrical resistance changed as a result of the easy hydrogen molecule approach, as well as of the adsorption process and the catalyst. It was also notable that the catalyst improved not only the hydrogen storage capacity but also the speed of hydrogen storage based on the response time. The hydrogen storage mechanism is suggested based on the effects of expansion, activation, and the catalyst.

Hydrogen storage is widely recognized as a critical enabling technology for the successful commercialization. There are a few different approaches for hydrogen storage technology. In this paper, characteristics of hydrogen storage technologies were analyzed from the literature survey. Also, The technology trend of hydrogen production was scrutinized based on patent analysis. In patent analysis the search range was limited to the open patents issued from 1996 to 2006. The technology trend of hydrogen storage was assessed by classifying each patent based on the publishing year, country, and the type of storage technology.

수소저장기술은 수소경제를 달성하기 위해 개발해야할 핵심요소기술이다. 이 논문에서는 고체수소저장기술의 최신 개발 동향을 고찰하였다. 나노구조 탄소계 물질(nanostructured carbon materials), 유기금속구조물(metal organic framework, MOFs), 금속수소화물(metal hydrides), 클래스레이트수화물(clathrate hydrates), 금속착수소화물(complex chemical hydrides)과 같은 고체수소저장매체를 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 그 결과 지금까지 개발된 고체수소저장재료의 수소저장용량은 고체의 표면적에 비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수송용 탑재형 수소저장 응용을 목적으로 안전하면서도 가역적 고밀도 수소저장이 가능한 기능성 신 나노재료의 개발 방향을 제시하였다.

In this study, We had surface-treated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for improving hydrogen storage capacity. The SWNTs were treated by heat treatment, acid treatment and fluorinated at various temperatures. The SWNTs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and TEM and estimated hydrogen storage capacities at 303K. As shown Raman spectra and TEM images, the structure of fluorinated SWNTs were stable at 423K but changed to the MWNTs-like structure or onion structure over 523K. Hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs fluorinated at 423K was remarkably increased 2.6 times than that of pristine SWNTs. For SWNTs fluorinated at 573K, the amount of hydrogen adsorbed wasn't increased compared with SWNTs fluorinated at 423K. Therefore, high hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs could be archived by fluorinated condition at 423K, which was not changed SWNT structure.

The research on production and application of hydrogen as an alternative energy in the future is being carried out actively. It hydrogen storage is necessary in order that user use hydrogen economically without much difficulty. Among the ways of hydrogen storage the method which is compressed hydrogen gas by high pressure is easier for application than other methods. In this study, we have been calculated gas with changing pressure and temperature variation of container wall through applied to mass and energy balance equation when compressing hydrogen by high pressure, and also to Beattie-Bridgeman equation of state for the kinetic of hydrogen. We will apply above date as a preliminary for design of hydrogen storage tank.

본 연구에서는 실리카 주형을 사용하여 중형기공성 탄소 재료인 CMK-3와 CMK-5를 제조하였으며 이의 수소 저장량을 측정하였다. 비교 물질로는 탄소 재료 중 수소 저장에 관해 가장 많은 연구가 이루어진 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 탄소체에 흡착되는 수소의 양은 탄소 물질의 표면적과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있으며 표면적이 증가될수록 수소 저장량이 증가함을 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 탄소 재료 중 CMK-5가 가장 높은 수소 저장량을 나타내었으며 CMK-3, MWCNT 순으로 높은 수소 저장량을 보였다. CMK-5의 경우, 팔라듐을 도핑하였을 때 수소 저장량이 매우 크게 증가하였으며 이는 hydrogen spill-over 효과에 의한 것으로 생각되며 이와 같은 현상은 팔라듐이 도핑된 CMK-5의 수소 저장량을 결정하는데 가장 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were carbonized with or without iron (III) acetylacetonate to induce catalytic graphitization within the range of 900-1,500$^{circ}C$, resulting in ultrafine carbon fibers with a diameter of about 90-300 nm. Their structural properties and morphologies were investigated. The carbon nanofibers (CNF) prepared without a catalyst showed amorphous structures and very low surface areas of 22-31 $m^{2}$/g. The carbonization in the presence of the catalyst produced graphite nanofibers (GNF). The hydrogen storage capacities of these CNF and GNF materials were evaluated through the gravimetric method using magnetic suspension balance (MSB) at room temperature and 100 bar. The CNFs showed hydrogen storage capacities which increased in the range of 0.16-0.50 wt$\%$ with increasing carbonization temperature. The hydrogen storage capacities of the GNFs with low surface areas of 60-253 $m^{2}$/g were 0.14-1.01 wt$\%$. Micropore and mesopore, as calculated using the nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption isotherms, were not the effective pore for hydrogen storage.

본 총설에서는 최근 주로 연구되고 있는 활성탄, 탄소나노튜브, 팽창 흑연 및 활성 탄소 섬유 등 다공성 탄소재료를 중심으로 수소 저장량을 증대시키기 위한 기술 및 기 발표된 수소저장량과 그 장 단점에 대하여 고찰하였다. 수소저장능을 향상시키기 위한 탄소 내 기공의 최적의 크기는 0.6~0.7 nm로 조사되었다. 촉매의 경우 전이금속 및 그 금속산화물이 많이 이용되었으며, 주로 다공성 탄소재료에 도핑을 통해 수소저장능을 향상시켰다. 수소저장 매체인 다공성 탄소재료 중에서 활성탄은 대량생산이 가능하여 가격이 비교적 저렴한 장점이 있고 탄소나노튜브는 튜브의 튜브간 공간 외에도 내부공간에 수소를 저장할 수 있는 공간이 수소저장에 활용될 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 팽창 흑연은 흑연의 층 사이에 알칼리 금속의 삽입 시 층간 거리가 팽창하여 수소저장에 용이하고, 활성탄소섬유는 높은 비표면적과 발달된 미세기공이 수소흡착에 크게 기여한다는 점이 있다. 이러한 기존의 연구로 고려해 볼 때 다공성 탄소재료는 아직 달성되지 못한 DOE의 수소저장 목표치에 도달하기 위한 주요 유망한 후보재료 중의 하나이다.

Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon nanofibers (CNFs) containing Ti and Mn were prepared by electrospinning. The effect of metal content on the hydrogen storage capacity of the nanofibers was evaluated. The nanofibers containing Ti and Mn exhibited maximum hydrogen adsorption capacities of 1.6 and 1.1 wt%, respectively, at 303 K and 9 MPa. Toward the development of an improved hydrogen storage system, the optimum conditions for the production of metalized CNFs were investigated by characterizing the specific surface areas, pore volumes, sizes, and shapes of the fibers. According to the results of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, the activation of the CNFs using potassium hydroxide resulted in a large pore volume and specific surface area in the samples. This is attributable to the optimized pore structure of the metal-containing polyacrylonitrile-based electrospun CNFs, which may provide better sites for hydrogen adsorption than do current adsorbates.
