technological operations for their synthesis being carried out at the temperatures less than
1000˚C. Mechanisms of the development of CNA’s structure allow a possibility of increasing
of values А BEТ and V μ . In our presentation we discuss a specific variant of adjustment of their
structure that is based on the use of natural or artificial mineral templates.
The first stage of application of hydrogen power engineering will apparently start from
the use of natural gas as a source of Н 2 at vehicles with fuel cells. At the same time, CNA’s
are also effective adsorbents for methane storage at Т~298K and Р ~ 3.0-5.0 Мра. Their
application for СН 4 at such conditions will substantially simplify the process compared to the
cryogenic hydrogen storage, of which the main shortcoming is associated with the necessity
of the special infrastructure with cooling of hydrogen at refuelling stations.
Hence, for initial stages of the development of hydrogen power engineering the problem
of fuel storage for vehicles with fuel cells could be solved with already developed carbon
nanostructural adsorbents (CNA’s)
