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

چکیده
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 hinder hydrogen diffusion within the host KC(24) structure. In this study, self-diffusion in a KC(24)(H(2))(0.5) sample is measured experimentally by quasielastic neutron scattering and compared to values from molecular dynamics simulations. Self-diffusion coefficients are determined by fits of the experimental spectra to a honeycomb net diffusion model and found to agree well with the simulated values. The experimental H(2) diffusion coefficients in KC(24) vary from 3.6 × 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) at 80 K to 8.5 × 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) at 110 K. The measured diffusivities are roughly an order of magnitude lower that those observed on carbon adsorbents, but compare well with the rate of hydrogen self-diffusion in molecular sieve zeolites.

Adsorption and melting of hydrogen in potassium-intercalated graphite
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 ...

Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics ~MD! simulations have been used to investigate molecular diffusive motion near the melting transition of monolayers of flexible rod-shaped molecules. The experiments were conducted on butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on an exfoliated graphite substrate. For butane, quasielastic scattering broader than the experimental energ...
