Abstract [en]

Understanding the processes guiding the confinement of adsorbed H2 in different porous structures is vital for the development of adsorbents for effective cryo-adsorptive H2 storage systems. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) is applied over a wide range of timescales (0.2 ps – 150 ps) to determine different self-diffusion mechanisms of H2 adsorbed in a carbide (synthesized from TiC via the sol-gel method) derived carbon (sol-gel TiC-CDC) adsorbent with hierarchical porous structure. The bulk and porous structure is characterized by gas adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, and wide-angle X-ray scattering methods. Sol-gel TiC-CDC belongs to a series of CDCs that have been previously characterized and where the self-diffusion of adsorbed H2 has been investigated with QENS. Sol-gel TiC-CDC is very mesoporous, has relatively high stacking (2.76 graphenic layers per stack), and small interlayer spacing of graphenic sheets (3.43 Å) in comparison to other CDCs in the series, thus, being a well-ordered highly porous CDC. Restricted rotational self-diffusion of adsorbed H2 is determined in ultramicropores (pore width, w, < 7 Å) and translationally self-diffusing H2 adsorbed in multilayers across multiple timescales are determined in micro- and mesopores (7 Å < w < 500 Å). The microporous and graphenic structure of the CDC does not remarkably affect the self-diffusion of H2 at high surface coverages. The simultaneous determination of adsorbed H2 motions across different timescales allows to analyze the influence of micro- and mesopores under H2 loading conditions, which are close to the ones used in technical applications and are vital for adsorbent optimization.
