Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 材料科學及工程學系 === 103 === Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to power a new generation of clean, efficient vehicles in the future. One of the major technical obstacles that currently inhibits the popularization of these vehicles is the hydrogen storage problem. Among the candidates for hydrogen storage material, graphene stands out with its superior properties (e.g. huge surface area, stability, decreasing price...). Research into the potential of graphene-based hydrogen storage, however, is limited by our inability to make accurate measurement of hydrogen adsorption in graphene since it only exists in tiny quantities. In this project, we examine the possibility of using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for a direct and simple, yet precise and inexpensive method to monitor hydrogen storage in graphene and similar materials.
