摘要
The diffusion of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in a highly porous carbon aerogel has been studied with quasi-elastic neutron scattering. Hydrogen diffusion in this carbon substrate followed an activated jump process with a single activation barrier. The temperature dependence of the diffusion rate agrees well with previous results from activated carbons and other highly porous carbons. The carbon aerogel sample showed a strongly enhanced conversion between the ortho-and para-hydrogen spin states. The ortho-para conversion process, however, was inhibited for a fraction of the hydrogen molecules. This inhibition process is attributed to a rotational confinement of the hydrogen molecules at the nanometre scale. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
