Abstract

Porous carbon materials with a cylindrical pore structure were prepared using ordered mesoporous silica as a removable template. To investigate the effect of the structural and textural properties of the products on hydrogen adsorption capacity, different carbon precursors and synthetic methods were used in their preparation. All of the carbon materials prepared showed a well-defined pore structure with a high surface area irrespective of the carbon precursor used in the preparation. Hydrogen adsorption tests indicated that the capacity of the materials for hydrogen adsorption was highly dependent on total surface area and the pore structure. Based on the N2 sorption results, the total surface area was directly correlated with the hydrogen adsorption capacity.
