Magnetic properties of high-surface-area carbons and their effect on adsorbed hydrogen
We report the discovery that a large number of nanoporous carbon samples, made from corn cob and exhibiting high hydrogen storage capacities (Pfeifer et al, Mater. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. 1041 R02-02 (2008)), show unexpected magnetic properties, due to iron impurities in the samples. Magnetization cur...

| Summary: | We report the discovery that a large number of nanoporous carbon samples, made from corn cob and exhibiting high hydrogen storage capacities (Pfeifer et al, Mater. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. 1041 R02-02 (2008)), show unexpected magnetic properties, due to iron impurities in the samples. Magnetization curves are consistent with ferromagnetic and/or super-paramagnetic behavior. Magnetic susceptibilities, saturation magnetizations, coercivities and remanence magnetizations, from measurements on a SQUID magnetometer, will be presented, and their temperature dependence will be discussed. Results will be presented regarding the presence of small iron clusters, magnetic properties of iron-leached samples, and hydrogen binding energies as a function of iron leaching. This material is based on work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under Award No. DE-FG-08GO18142. |
