Hydrogen adsorption in slit-shaped pores of carbon adsorbents

Abstract

The hydrogen adsorption in slit-shaped pores of carbon adsorbents is investigated using the density functional theory. Hydrogen adsorption in the gap between two monocarbon (graphene) walls is calculated for 20.33, 77, and 200 K. At T = 20.38 and 77 K, our data on the hydrogen storage capacities in slit pores are in good agreement with the results of A.A. Fomkin and V.A. Sinitsyn [23], obtained using Dubinin’s volume pore filling theory and the standard data on benzene adsorption. Under supercritical conditions, the adsorption capacity in the modeling adsorbents is underestimated by half.
