Theoretical study of Hydrogen Storage in Nanotubes and Nanoscrolls.

ORAL

Abstract

A combination of \textit{ab-initio} and Molecular Dynamics methods is used for investigating the nature of atomic and molecular hydrogen interaction with C, SiC and BN Nanotubes and Nanoscrolls. The curvature of the tube wall together with the direction of the hydrogen approach is considered and evaluated. In addition the improvement of the storage capacity is tested under various conditions of doping, pressure and temperature.
