Templated carbons for hydrogen storage application

Abstract

In this study a simple carbonization method with optimized process conditions was developed for synthesis of templated carbon The templated carbons were synthesized using NH4Y zeolite and silica gel as inorganic templates The furfuryl alcohol and sucrose were used as carbon precursors Doped templated carbons were synthesized using acetonitrile and aniline as nitrogen precursors and nickel acetate tetrahydrate as nickel precursor The nitrogen and nickel precursors were incorporated along with
