Abstract

Recent years have seen a substantial emphasis on the development of hydrogen storage methods, where high hopes have been pinned on the use of modified activated carbons1–3. Still, the selection of the methods and conditions of producing such activated carbons requires a thorough and accurate analysis of their structure. The work presents the results of microporous structure analysis carried out by means of the LBET method4–5 on activated carbons obtained by chemical activation using a mixed combination of KOH and borax decahydrate (BDH) as a source of boron; the activated carbons in question were described in the paper [1]. The results of analyses of the porous structure of activated carbons carried out on the basis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms with the use of the LBET method are presented in Figure 1 and in Table 1.
