Funded Activity Summary

THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF CATALYST DOPING AND DEFECTS IN CARBON NANOTUBES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE. This project aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the adsorption mechanism of hydrogen in carbon nanotubes through theoretical calculations and experimental studies. This addresses an important area of hydrogen storage in nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, which promises efficient and clean energy supply in the hydrogen economy in 15-20 years time. Specifically, the project aims to elucidate the effects of catalyst doping and defects in the carbon nanotube walls on the adsorption mechanism and capacity of hydrogen. Such an understanding is crucial to developing the improved carbon nanotubes with high adsorption capacity.
