Ultra-fast diffusion of hydrogen in a novel mesoporous N-doped carbon
Abstract
The diffusional behaviour of H₂ adsorbed in a novel mesoporous N-doped carbon material and on exfoliated graphite has been studied with quasi-elastic neutron scattering. While the activation energies for diffusion obtained for exfoliated graphite was in line with prior results, H₂ in the mesoporous carbon showed an exceptionally low diffusion barrier and behaved qualitatively like liquid hydrogen. Complementary results from neutron and X-ray diffraction as well as from isothermal nitrogen sorption studies provide a full characterisation of this novel mesoporous carbon.
