With the increasing population of the world, the need for energy resources is increasing rapidly due to the development of the industry. 88% of the world's energy needs are met from fossil fuels. Since there is a decrease in fossil fuel reserves and the fact that these fuels cause environmental pollution, there is an increase in the number of studies aimed to develop alternative energy sources nowadays. Hydrogen is considered to be a very important alternative energy source due to its some specific properties such as being abundant in nature, high calorific value and producing only water as waste when burned. An important problem with the use of hydrogen as an energy source is its safe storage. Therefore, method development is extremely important for efficient and safe storage of hydrogen. Surface area, surface characteristics and pore size distribution are important parameters in determining the adsorption capacity, and it is needed to develop new adsorbents with optimum parameters providing high hydrogen adsorption capacity. Until recently, several porous adsorbents have been investigated extensively for hydrogen storage. In this study, it was aimed to develop and compare novel Pd/carbon, Pd/multiwalled carbon nanotube, and Pd/ graphene composites for hydrogen sorption. All the palladium/carbon composites were characterized by t-plot, BJH desorption pore size distributions, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, and SEM techniques. The maximum hydrogen storage of 2.25 wt.% at -196 & DEG;C was achieved for Pd/KAC composite sample. It has been observed that the spillover effect of palladium increases the hydrogen sorption capacity. & COPY; 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
