The objectives of this research are aiming at the developments of novel ordered nano-structured carbon mesoporous materials (CMMs) and novel metals (Pd, Pt) supported M-CMMs for applications in energy-related issues, such as hydrogen fuel storage and fuel cells. The synthesis of M-CMMs were carried out by combining chemical liquid deposition (CLD) and replication methods using mesoporous SBA-15 silica as the template, primary carbon source (e.g., fufuryl alcohol), and metal acetylacetonates ((M[CH(COCH3)2]2)；M = Pd、Pt) as the primary metal source and secondary carbon sources. This is done by incorporating the mixed solution of carbon and metal sources into dehydrated SBA-15 silica via wetness incipient, followed by carbonization at elevated temperatures (600-800 oC). Subsequently, the M-CMMs can be obtained after removing the silica template by hydrophoric acid. M-CMMs prepared by various synthesis conditions (condensation time, duration and temperature of carbonization, and metal loading, etc.) were examined. Various analytical and spectroscopic techniques, such as powdered X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, etc. were used to characterize the physical/chemical properties of the M-CMMs. In addition, the adsorptive properties of M-CMMs were tested by H2 chemisorption, and H2 uptake measurements and compared with bare CMMs. The results obtained from this study should not only enhance fundamental understanding of the M-CMMs but also promote more efficient and practical applications of these materials in adsorption, catalysis, and energy-related areas, such as hydrogen fuel storage and fuel cells.
