  • Hydrogen storage carbon material
    Patent number: 10392249
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage carbon material having a carbon structure suited for hydrogen storage and a production method thereof. The hydrogen storage carbon material according to this embodiment includes a carbon structure which has a ratio of an ultramicropore volume to a micropore volume of 60% or more, and in which stored hydrogen exhibits, in 1H-NMR measurement, a second peak at a position corresponding to a chemical shift of from ?2 ppm to ?20 ppm with respect to a first peak attributed to gaseous hydrogen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2019
    Assignees: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION HOKKAIDO UNIVERSITY, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION GUNMA UNIVERSITY, NISSHINBO HOLDINGS INC.

  • Hydrogen storing carbon material
    Patent number: 8475687
    Abstract: Provided is a hydrogen-storing carbon material with improved hydrogen storage capacity. The hydrogen-storing carbon material has a total pore volume of 0.5 cm3/g or more, and a ratio of a total mesoporous volume to a total microporous volume per unit weight of 5 or more. In addition, the hydrogen-storing carbon material may have a nitrogen content of 0.5 wt % or more and less than 20 wt %. In addition, the hydrogen-storing carbon material may have a stable potential of ?1.28 V or more when a cathode current with respect to the hydrogen-storing carbon material is held at 1,000 mA/g in electrochemical measurement by chronopotentiometry involving using the hydrogen-storing carbon material in a working electrode in a three-electrode method.
