| One of the key factors in the realization of a hydrogen based economy is the safe and economical storage of hydrogen. Current commercially available hydrogen storage materials fall short of a suitable hydrogen storage capacity, such as the 6.0 % wt. capacity set forth by the United States department of energy. In the present study we present a simple layer by layer method to grow carbon nanotubes on the surface of iron titanium, a commercially available hydrogen storage alloy, and the deposition of palladium onto the alloy-nanotube composites. The composite material was thoroughly investigated using SEM, BET, and TGA. |
