Rational design of carbon-based materials for purification and storage of energy carrier gases of methane and hydrogen

Fast-growing energy demands and the depletion of conventional fuel resources such as crude oil coal are among most recent issues treating world's security. Gaseous carriers methane hydrogen seem promising abundant alternative resources. However, these gasses' low volumetric density makes their storage cost extensive. High-pressure gas inside porous materials carbons is considered one way to tackle problem gasses. This review article represents state-of-the-art with a focus on what has been done improve/enhance capacity traditional novel carbon-based structures. Since fabrication condition carbonaceous matters can significantly affect properties (porosity packing density) adsorption performance, we systematically analysed experimental theoretical advances in design preparation materials. We various synthesis strategies amorphous nano allotrope carbons, emphasising performance. A critical assessment was conducted connect structural adsorbents capacity. • The potential gaseous CH 4 H 2 an resource explored. Porous carbon showed great ability store environmentally relevant gases . Numerous were reported for modifying porosity old new-faced toward storage. shows be enhance low-cost adsorbents.
