Multilayer carbon nanotubes obtained by pyrolytic treatment and mechanical activation of amorphous carbon, synthesized from various plant materials, are distinguished by high hydrogen sorption capacity. We have studied the microstructure of the amorphous carbon and the nanotubes. We have found that the mechanical activation time and hydrogen saturation conditions affect the sorption capacity of the nanotubes.
