摘要
In this study, alkali doped fullerenes synthesized by two different solvent assisted mixing techniques are compared for their hydrogen uptake activity. In particular, we investigated the interaction of hydrogen with lithium and sodium doped fullerenes via physisorpdon. In addition, we present the first mass spectrometric evidence for the formation of C60H60 via chemisorption. Hydrogen physisorption isotherms up to 1 atm at temperatures ranging from 77 K to 303 K were measured demonstrating an increase in hydrogen uptake versus pure C-60 and increased isosteric heats of adsorption for the lithium doped fullerene Li12C60. The hydrogen uptake in Na6C60, Li6C60, and Li12C60 was enhanced compared to pure C-60. However, despite these improvements the low amount of physisorbed hydrogen at 1 atm and 77 K in these materials suggests that fullerenes do not possess enough accessible surface area to effectively store hydrogen due to their close packed crystalline nature.
