    Synthesis and characterization of Pt-CMK-3 hybrid nanocomposite for hydrogen storage
    (Wiley Online Library, 2015) Juárez, Juliana María; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo
    The nanometric carbon CMK-3 modified with Pt was synthesized and applied as a reservoir for hydrogen uptake. We found that the newly synthesized hybrid composites exhibited significantly enhanced H2 storage. The approach that we have followed includes synthesis of nanostructures with the experimental study of its adsorption capacity and storage properties. In summary, we have shown that CMK-3 ordered porous carbon modified with Pt nanoclusters is a promising material for hydrogen uptake. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectra and transmission electron microscopy. The nanoparticles of Pt (~1.7 nm) incorporated onto the nanostructured carbon CMK- 3 showed higher hydrogen uptake at low and high pressures (3.3 wt% of H2 sorption at 10 bar and 77 K) than CMK-3.

    Sustainable utilization of orange peels waste for preparation of activated carbon: Synthesis, Characterization and Hydrogen storage application
    (2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo
    The recovery and reuse of orange peel waste (OP) is a sustainable strategy in a circular economy. In this research, OP was used as the raw material for the preparation of a novel carbonaceous nanomaterial to be used in the adsorption of hydrogen as an alternative in the use of green hydrogen. Activated carbons were synthesized from orange peel using different synthesis conditions. The activation of the carbon was carried out by means of a chemical process with phosphoric acid as activating agent, varying the the activating agent/precursor ratio, and the contact time between them. The activating agent used is a solution of phosphoric acid (50 wt %) in different weight ratios of acid/precursor of 3:1 or 6:1, with resting time of 24 hours. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, a carbonization temperature of 470oC, 6:1 precursor/acid ratio and 24 hours of resting time. According XRD analysis all samples present amorphous structure of activated carbons with BET surface areas of 1000 to 1400 m2 /g. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, the adsorption of hydrogen and the effects on their meso / microporosity were studied. Said material significantly improved H2 storage behaviour compared to CMK-3 type nanostructured carbon (3.1% by weight at -196,15 oC and 10 bar). The synthesized material shows promise in absorbing hydrogen by weak binding forces (physisorption)
