چکیده

Volumetric adsorption and quasielastic neutron scattering are used to study the diffusion and thermodynamics of sorbed H2 in the graphite intercalation compound KC24. A sorption enthalpy of 8.5 kJ/mol at zero coverage is determined from H2 adsorption isotherms. From measurements of total elastic-neutron-scattering intensity as a function of temperature, a melting transition of the H2 adsorbate is observed at 35 K for KC24 H2 1. Quasielastic-neutron-scattering QENS spectra reveal distinct slowand fast-H2-diffusion processes which exist simultaneously at temperatures above the transition point. The temperature dependence of the characteristic diffusion times follows an Arrhenius relation = 0 exp Ea /T , where 0 =1.0 0.1 ps,

Hydrogen diffusion in potassium intercalated graphite studied by quasielastic neutron scattering.

The graphite intercalation compound KC(24) adsorbs hydrogen gas at low temperatures up to a maximum stoichiometry of KC(24)(H(2))(2), with a differential enthalpy of adsorption of approximately -9 kJ mol(-1). The hydrogen molecules and potassium atoms form a two-dimensional condensed phase between the graphite layers. Steric barriers and strong adsorption potentials are expected to strongly hin...

Synthesis and Characterization of Highly Intercalated Graphite Bisulfate

Different chemical formulations for the synthesis of highly intercalated graphite bisulfate have been tested. In particular, nitric acid, potassium nitrate, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, sodium periodate, sodium chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide have been used in this synthesis scheme as the auxiliary reagent (oxidizing agent). In order to evaluate the presence of delamination, an...

Hydrogen adsorption by g-C3N4 and graphene oxide nanosheets

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...

This paper reports on characterization techniques for electron emission from potassiumintercalated boron nitride-modified graphitic petals (GPs). Carbon-based materials offer potentially good performance in electron emission applications owing to high thermal stability and a wide range of nanostructures that increase emission current via field enhancement. Furthermore, potassium adsorption and ...
