Ultra-high vacuum system for adsorption–desorption studies of hydrogen storage on/in carbon nanotubes

Extremely high financial support has been provided to different scientific institutes due to a world priority to find new kinds of energy sources. This has a clear strategic importance for the energy industry. Hydrogen is the most energetic material known and safe for our environment. However, it creates a lot of problems to achieve safe, effective and reversible storage. Some of the theoretical simulations show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and/or CNTs hybrid systems could be quite promising material for hydrogen storage. dy a new carbon material for gas adsorption–desorption properties the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system is proposed here.
