IV.C.1f Nanoengineering the Forces of Attraction in a Metal-Carbon Array for H 2 Uptake at Room Temperature

The primary objective is to design and produce • nanoengineered carbon-metal media which is capable of achieving: 1) 65 g/L; 2) 7.5 wt% storage of hydrogen at near-ambient temperatures; 3) superior thermal management; 4) high energy efficiency; 5) 5 kg fill in 3.3 minutes; 6) 2,000 fill cycles; 7) low cost media less than $67 per kg H2 stored; 8) 3 to 100 bar delivery; 9) near-ambient temperatures; and 10) avoid large temperature swings to obtain complete H2 delivery. Develop a graphene slit-pore scaffold using very low • cost ingredients to be within DOE cost targets.
