Abstract

We investigate the use of carbonized bamboo, which has an organic porous structure, as a hydrogen storage material. Bamboo samples were thermally treated at 800, 900, 1000, and 1100 °C for 24 h. The pore size and hydrogen storage capacity of each sample were measured by N2 and H2 gas sorption up to 1.13 bar at 77 K. The maximum hydrogen storage was exhibited by the sample treated at 900 °C, which reached 1.35 wt% at 1.13 bar/77 K. The results showed that the bamboo, one of the green carbons, has the potential to be used as an environmental-friendly carbon backbone for hybrid hydrogen storage materials.
