Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy materials, especially a green metal composite material.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

The research on carbon series hydrogen storage materials is a hot topic in recent years. It is known that carbon has a large or small adsorption to almost all gases due to its porous structure and the special attraction of carbon atoms to gas molecules, so it is natural to study it as a hydrogen storage material. At present, the research on carbon series hydrogen storage materials mainly focuses on graphite, activated carbon, carbon nano tubes and carbon nanofibres. The following will make a brief introduction to the research of these materials, especially the research of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon to H2 is not obvious, and adsorbing capacity is also relatively low, form about 3 to 6 wt %, and the processing conditions are rigorous, and the temperature is 78 K, and the pressure is 40 bars. However, activated carbon is inexpensive and readily available. If appropriate methods can be used to improve its performance, there will be great application prospects. In the existing technologies, activated carbon is treated with nitric acid or NaOCl, and its hydrogen absorption capacity and discharge as electrodes are significantly improved. Carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers are popular hydrogen storage materials because of their large hydrogen storage capacity, which generally reaches 10 wt % and some even reach 60 wt % or more. However, some scientists have previously tested this, but they ended in failure, while it is an indisputable fact that its hydrogen storage capacity is higher than that of the hydrogen storage alloy. In addition, its weight is relatively light and is easy to carry. However, because of its very difficult synthesis and rigorous synthesis conditions, and it will consumes a lot of energy for its synthesis. After synthesis, chemical treatment and purification should also be performed before application. Most importantly, its hydrogen storage property and hydrogen storage mechanism are still in disputes, so it has not been widely used.

The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to provide an understanding of the general background of this invention, and should not be construed as acknowledging or implying in any way that the information composition is the existing technology known to the general technical personnel in the field.

In order to continue to improve the hydrogen storage capacity of materials, there are several feasible methods as follows: 1. it is expected to continue to improve the hydrogen storage capacity of materials by changing the preparation method of materials and controlling the microstructure of materials. However, due to the unclear relationship between the microstructure of materials and hydrogen storage capacity, this method is expensive to design and extremely difficult to implement after design. 2. doping non-metallic elements, but the properties of these alloy are unstable because of the compatibility between non-metallic elements and metallic elements. To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a hydrogen storage material doped with carbon nano tubes and graphene powder. The process technology of this invention solves the problems of poor compatibility, easy to be segregated and unstable property of the non-metallic particles and metallic matrix, and can be used for preparing hydrogen storage materials with stable properties, strong hydrogen storage capacity and suitable for industrial production at a low cost.
