Hydrogen storage by chemisorption on carbonaceous materials

By studying the chemisorption state of hydrogen binding on the surface of nanostructured materials, the project will investigate whether hydrogen can be stored on carbonaceous materials. Experiments will be conducted using, for example, a measuring technology that combines laser heating of test surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum with molecular.

Results

In this project we have established four different processes synthesizing SiC in different forms (micro- and nano-), from carbon preforms, or from Si. The different structures formed have applications in industrial components in the energy sector (refractory linings, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, photovoltaic elements, Li-ion batteries, wind mill rotors), and in the automotive and aeronautics industries.
