Influence of pretreatment methods on the sorption capacity of carbon nanotubes
The effect of pretreatment methods on the hydrogen sorption capacity was carried out using commercial multiwall nanotubcs (MWNT). The hydrogen sorption characteristics of M\VNT were investigated by means of a Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD), BET surface area measurement and Scanning Electro...

The effect of pretreatment methods on the hydrogen sorption capacity was carried out using commercial multiwall nanotubcs (MWNT). The hydrogen sorption characteristics of M\VNT were investigated by means of a Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD), BET surface area measurement and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SENT). Hydrogen adsorption and desorption was carried out at room temperature. The samples were subjected to thermal and acid pretreatment methods. Thermal treatment involved heating the MWNT at 350 C for 3 hours. Acid treatment was carried out under 2 conditions i.e. refluxing in nitric acid for a duration of 12 hours and refluxing in nitric acid for a duration of 4 hours followed by heating at 400 C for 4 hours.
