Abstract: | Today, the reduction of fossil fuel resources and the increase of their destructive environmental effects are important challenges. One strategy to this problem is application of new sources of energy supply. Hydrogen can play an important role in future energy supplies due to its unique properties such as clean combustion and high energy content relative to mass. In addition, hydrogen is considered as a green energy because it can be produced from renewable sources and is not polluting. The most important issue in hydrogen as a fuel is its storage. Hydrogen must be stored reversibly in a completely safe manner as well as with high storage efficiencies. One of the best ways to store hydrogen is using of new nanostructured adsorbents. In this study, first strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) nanostructures are synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. Then, the samples structure is studied using various techniques. Furthermore, the nanostructures are used as hydrogen storage materials. Using electrochemical techniques, the hydrogen storage properties of the materials are investigated in alkaline media. The obtained electrochemical results show that the maximum hydrogen storage capacity of SrFe12O19 nanostructures is about 3100 mAh/g. |
