Hydrogen Storage in Heterojunction Carbon Nanotubes: Molecular Dynamics Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrogen, a renewable and environmentally friendly energy resource, has drawn much attention in the past decades. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been studied as potential candidates for hydrogen storage [1-3]. On the other hand, simulations have predicted low uptake of hydrogen on idealized SWNTs [4-7]. Y.C Ma et al [8] has explored a valid method to simulate the hydrogen storage in carbon nanotubes, e.g. non-equilibrium method, in which the hydrogen atom was given proper initial energy to collide with the carbon nanotube and high density of hydrogen was trapped into CNT.

Radius Dependence of Hydrogen Storage Inside Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes in an Array
In this study, we have investigated radius dependence of hydrogen storage within armchair (n,n) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a square arrays. To this aim, we have employed equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Our simulations results reveal that radius of carbon nanotubes are an important and influent factor in hydrogen distribution inside carbon nanotubes and consequentl...
متن کاملHydrogen storage in carbon nanotubes with Ni nanoparticles by electrochemical
In this paper, the electrochemical hydrogen storage in nanocomposite materials was studied. Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) electrode was prepared by mixing with special composite. The optimum ratio of MWCNTs was estimated 30-70% (w/w) in the composite material. MWCNTs were synthesized by Chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The nanocomposite was homogenized by microwave. Cyclic voltammetry ...

متن کاملStudy the stability of Si, Ge, Fe and Co in the interior surface of metallic carbon nanotube for hydrogen storage
In this article, we have performed calculations for studying the stability of the carbon group elements such as Si and Ge and also the magnetic elements like Fe and Co via first principle investigations. We found that Si and Ge decoupled from the interior surface of carbon nanotubes, this fact was independent in curvature, radius, conductivity and numbers of atoms in the carbon nanotubes. But t...
متن کاملEnhancement in hydrogen storage in carbon nanotubes under modified conditions.
We investigate the hydrogen adsorbing characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through fundamental molecular dynamics simulations that characterize the role of ambient pressure and temperature, the presence of surface charges on the CNTs, inclusion of metal ion interconnects, and nanocapillary effects. While the literature suggests that hydrogen spillover due to the presence of ...
