Hydrogen storage in platinum decorated hydrogen exfoliated graphene sheets by spillover mechanism
Abstract
Development of lightweight materials with high hydrogen storage capacities is a great challenge for the hydrogen economy. Here, we report high pressure hydrogen adsorption–desorption studies of platinum-decorated hydrogen-exfoliated graphene sheets (Pt–HEG). Pt–HEG shows a maximum hydrogen uptake capacity of 1.4 wt% at 25 °C and 3 MPa. Analysis of the isosteric heat of adsorption provides evidence of spillover mechanism.
