Abstract
In situ resistivity and thermoelectric power (S) have been used to study the nature of the adsorption of hydrogen in bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes for pressure atm and temperatures Isothermal plots of S vs are found to exhibit linear behavior as a function of gas coverage, consistent with a physisorption process. Studies of S, at as a function of pressure exhibit a plateau at a pressure Torr, the same pressure where the H wt. % measurements suggest the highest binding energy sites are being saturated. The effects of exposure at 500 K on the thermoelectric transport properties are fully reversible.
