Hydrogen Adsorption on Agricultural-Based Activated Carbons, Zeolite Templated-Carbons and Clay-Based Materials; A Review

Abstract

Hydrogen storage has become the main challenge in making hydrogen-fuelled economy into reality. Among the approaches is the adsorption on solid-state material. Porous materials, such as agricultural-based activated carbon, zeolite templated-carbons, and clay-based materials are known to possess a great utility in adsorption of hydrogen. This paper aims to review and summarize the recent advances of the materials that are currently under investigation to store hydrogen in solid-state materials. In this paper, comparison between the achievements of the agricultural-based activated carbon, zeolite templated-carbons and clay-based materials as the sorbent materials has been discussed. In a nutshell, by tailoring their textural properties, they show a remarkable potential in storing hydrogen.
