Highly microporous activated carbons (ACs) were prepared using chitosan, a low cost and abundant biopolysaccharide, as a carbon precursor. Chitosan chars were activated with KOH in different experimental conditions, yielding chitosan-based ACs with high surface areas (922-3066 m(2) g(-1)) and pore volumes (0.40-1.38 cm(3) g(-1)). Microporosity was the main contributor to the total pore volume for all ACs. Chitosan-based ACs were tested as hydrogen storage systems using hydrogen physisorption at atmospheric pressure and 4 MPa. The optimized ACs exhibited excellent hydrogen adsorption capacities at 77 K (2.95 wt% at 0.1 MPa, 5.61 wt% at 4 MPa). Micropores with a width of 0.7-1 nm were mainly responsible for hydrogen adsorption at atmospheric pressure, whereas larger pores did not exert any noticeable influence. Conversely, the presence of supermicropores and small mesopores also enhanced hydrogen uptake at 4 MPa. These results show a high potential for the use of chitosan-based ACs in hydrogen storage systems. Copy-right (C) 2015, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
