X-ray
Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray Adsorption Spectroscopy
(XAS) show that in situ atomic hydrogen treatment of single-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWCN) film causes the formation of the C-H bonds
between hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms at the SWCN surface. The study
indicates that carbon nanotubes with a diameter of around 2.1 nm can
have a hydrogen storage capacity of more than 7 wt % through the
formation of the stable C-H bonds.
