Tailoring of nanoscale porosity in carbide-derived carbons for hydrogen storage.
The poor performance of hydrogen storage materials continues to hinder development of fuel cell-powered automobiles. Nanoscale carbons, in particular (activated carbon, exfoliated graphite, fullerenes, nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanohorns), have not fulfilled their initial promise. Here we show that carbon materials can be rationally designed for H2 storage. Carbide-derived carbons (CDC), a lar...
متن کاملEDLC performance of carbide-derived carbons in aprotic and acidic electrolytes
This study shows that carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) with average pore size distributions around 0.9 to 1 nm and effective surface areas of 1300-1400 m g provide electrochemical double layer capacitors with high performances in both aqueous (2M H2SO4) and aprotic (1M (C2H5)4NBF4) in acetonitrile) electrolytes. In the acidic electrolytic solution, the gravimetric capacitance at low current densi...
متن کاملModeling of graphitization kinetics during peritectic melting of tungsten carbide
A dynamic computational model developed within the context of the classical theory of phase evolution is applied to the W–C system to simulate the kinetics of graphite nucleation during non-equilibrium peritectic melting of WC. The kinetic variables used in the model are obtained directly from the free energy formulations that characterize the stable and metastable equilibria between WC, liquid...
متن کاملActivation of Carbide Derived Carbons: A Route to Materials with Enhanced Gas and Energy Storage Properties
Thermal halogenation of a wide range of metal carbides provides a simple route to a class of so called carbide derived carbon (CDC) materials. The porosity of the CDCs, which is mainly in the microporous regime, may be modulated by choice of metal carbide precursor and halogenation temperature. However, although the pore size of CDCs can be fine-tuned by the choice of synthesis process, the max...
متن کاملOrdered and Disordered Carbon Structures Detected by TEM in Carbide-derived Carbons Produced from TiC
Nowadays, the selective etching of metal carbides by chlorine gas is one well established method to prepare highly porous and nanostructurated carbon materials with potential applications for hydrogen storage and supercapacitors The obtained products usually named as carbide-derived carbons (CDC) present high purity, high surface area and homogeneous pore size distribution and most of times pre...
