Abstract:
1. A method for preparation of a transition metal electroplated porous carbon nanofiber composite comprising: providing an anode comprising a transition metal plate and a cathode comprising a porous carbon nanofiber with specific surface area from 500 to 3000 m applying an electrical current of 0.01 to 5.0 A/m wherein the transition metal electroplated porous carbon nanofiber composite has a hydrogen storage capacity in the range of from 0.01 to 3 weight %, and a transition metal dispersion ratio, relative to the external specific surface area of the support, in the range of from 0.01 to 50 area %.
