چکیده
The present analytical study using thermodynamic methods for analysis of data from a number of theoretical and experimental works, devoted to the current problem of thermodynamic stability and related thermodynamic characteristics of the following graphene layers systems: 1) double-side hydrogenated graphene of composition CH theoretical graphane (Sofo et al. 2007) and experimental graphane (Elias et al. 2009); 2) theoretical single-side hydrogenated graphene of composition CH; 3) theoretical single-side hydrogenated graphene of composition C2H graphone; 4) experimental hydrogenated epitaxial graphene, bilayer graphene and a few layers of graphene on SiO2 or other substrates; 5) experimental and theoretical single-external side hydrogenated single-walled carbon nanotubes, and experimental hydrofullerene C60H36; 6) experimental single-internal side hydrogenated (up to C2H or CH composition) graphene nanoblisters with intercalated high pressure H2 gas inside them, formed on a surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite or epitaxial graphene under the atomic hydrogen treatment; and 7) experimental hydrogenated graphite (multigraphene) nanofibers with intercalated solid H2 nano-regions inside them. The main target of the present study is to show a possible breakthrough in solving the problem of hydrogen on-board storage in fuel cell powered vehicles (Nechaev 2011-2012).

The High-Density Hydrogen Carrier Intercalation in Graphane-Like Nanostructures, Relevance to its On-Board Storage in Fuel-Cell-Powered Vehicles
Theoretical (thermodynamic) and experimental backgrounds are considered for developing a much simpler, more technological and effective method (in comparison with the known megabar compression dynamic and static methods) of producing a high-density solid molecular (“reversible”) hydrogen carrier by means of hydrogen intercalation (at the cost of the hydrogen association energy) in carbonaceous ...
متن کاملH-Spillover through the Catalyst Saturation: An Ab Initio Thermodynamics Study.
The spillover phenomenon, which essentially involves transfer of H from a metal catalyst to a graphitic receptor, has been considered promising for efficient hydrogen storage. An open question about the spillover mechanism is how a H atom binds to graphene instead of forming the thermodynamically preferred H(2). Using ab initio calculations, we show that the catalyst saturation provides a way t...

The adsorption behavior of hydrogen for synthesized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and graphene oxide nanosheets was compared. The structure of the prepared g-C3N4 and graphene oxide samples were studied using TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and surface area analysis. Textural results of the prepared nanosheets show that the surface area, total pore volume, and average internal diameter of g-C3N4 an...
