Abstract

This work investigates the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and g-C3N4/CoMn2O4 nanocomposites as potential materials for solid-state hydrogen storage applications. Initially, the CoMn2O4 was prepared by facile hydrothermal technique and g-C3N4 was synthesized via a one-step calcination process. The g-C3N4/CoMn2O4 composites were prepared through ultrasonic-assisted wet impregnation method and their physical and chemical properties were investigated systematically. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that the samples were thermally stable up to 500 °C. Hydrogenation studies were carried out at 150 °C for 30 min under 5 and 10 bar pressures. In the dehydrogenation process, the g-C3N4 desorbed 1.58 wt% and g-C3N4/CoMn2O4 650 nanocomposite desorbed 2.25 wt% of hydrogen from RT to 500 °C. The g-C3N4/CoMn2O4 650 shows lower desorption activation energy and binding energy (Ed = 15.81 kJ mol−1 & Eb = 0.252 eV) compared to g-C3N4 (Ed = 16.54 kJ mol−1 & Eb = 0.260 eV) respectively.
