  • Title: High capacity hydrogen absorption in transition-metal ethylene complexes: consequences of nanoclustering.
    Author: Phillips AB, Shivaram BS.
    Journal: Nanotechnology; 2009 May 20; 20(20):204020. PubMed ID: 19420668.
    Abstract:
    We have recently shown that organo-metallic complexes formed by laser ablating transition metals in ethylene are high hydrogen absorbers at room temperature (Phillips and Shivaram 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 105505). Here we show that the absorption percentage depends strongly on the ethylene pressure. High ethylene pressures (>100 mTorr) result in a lowered hydrogen uptake. Transmission electron microscopy measurements reveal that while low pressure ablations result in metal atoms dispersed uniformly on a near atomic scale, high pressure ones yield distinct nanoparticles with electron energy-loss spectroscopy demonstrating that the metal atoms are confined solely to the nanoparticles.
