Abstract
Performance of advanced carbon materials in two applications, storage of H2 and space cryocoolers are reported, concluding that carbon material properties must be designed for the adsorption of the corresponding gas (H2 and He) at high pressures and different temperatures. Results shown here remark the importance of optimizing the porous texture (mainly the micropore volume and the micropore size distribution) and density of the materials for achieving high capacities in gravimetric basis, and volumetric, respectively (in all cases the adsorbent is confined in a limited volume).
