IV.C.1d Neutron Characterization in Support of the Hydrogen Sorption Center of Excellence

Characterized the hydrogen environment upon • adsorption in graphite intercalation materials despite lack of periodic crystal structure. Characterized the hydrogen diffusion mechanism and geometry. Determined multiple binding sites for H • 2 in one of an isostructural series of benzene tris-tetrazole (BTT) compounds. Partial understanding of the local adsorption potential is obtained from the current inelastic neutron scattering data. For the first time we have observed a significant • perturbation of the hydrogen rotational levels in a high surface area B-doped carbon. Further understood the surface chemistry and • hydrogen adsorption capacities in zeolite-templated carbons loaded with Pt nanoparticles. Failed to observe any spillover in these materials.
