Summary

On this work, information of Rodriguez-Baker et al. and a few others have been analyzed and interpreted in relation to the long-term, i.e., about 25 years, drawback of “tremendous” storage (intercalation) of “reversible” (at 300 Okay) hydrogen (∼38 ± 10 wt.%, i.e., the atomic ratio (H/C) ≈ 7 ± 3)), together with “irreversible” hydrogen (∼11 ± 3 wt.% ((H/C) ≈ 1.5 ± 0.4)) into graphite nanofibers (GNFs). For a extra in-depth examine of the an issue, an efficient methodology of processing and analyzing the thermal desorption spectra of hydrogen and the associated thermogravimetric information was modified and used. It was proven that the above famous extraordinary information on the “tremendous” storage of hydrogen in GNFs are neither an error nor a hoax, as most researchers believed. The mandatory situations have been decided to breed this extraordinary information. It has additionally been proven that the Rodriguez-Baker workforce can reproduce “regular,” i.e., typical outcomes obtained by different researchers on hydrogen storage in GNFs.
