Experimental set-up for investigations of hydrogen-sorption characteristics of carbon nanomaterials

The set-up for investigations of hydrogen capacity of materials has been created. It completely meets the modern requirements for the experimental equipment of this class. The set-up design makes it possible to investigate hydrogen-sorption characteristics of different materials with low specific density, including nanocarbon structures and composites on their basis, by the volumetric method in the pressure range between 0.01 and 16 MPa H2 and at temperatures from 77 K to 1273 K. It is equipped with a metal-hydride unit for hydrogen storage/compression. The design and service conditions of this device are discussed.
