Comparison of literatures and the present work on the hydrogen adsorption capacity of Ti-doped NaAlH4 or Ti-NaAlH4-doped CNTs composites.
| Samples | Adsorption conditions | H2 adsorption capacity (wt%) |
| NaAlH4 + 3 mol% Ti + 1 mol% Fe [29] | 473 K and 1 atm | 4.3 | NaAlH4 + 4 mol% Ti [25] | 423 K and 1 atm | 3.5 | NaAlH4 + 2 mol% Ti + 5 wt% Al + 10 wt% MWCNTs (SWCNTs) [54] | 473 K and 1 atm | 3.9 (4.2) | NaAlH4 + 8 mol% MWCNTs [31] | 433 K and 1 atm | 4.2 | TiO2-doped MWCNTs [51] | 298 K and 18 atm | 0.4 | Ti-coated SWCNTs [55] (first-principle total-energy calculations) | 200–900 K and 1 atm | 5.0–8.0 | 4 wt% Ti-NaAlH4 + 5 wt% MWCNTs (this work) | 425 K and 30 atm | 3.8 |
