Cotton was pyrolysed at 750°C for 3 h in argon atmosphere. Carbon fiber was soaked with 0.1M Ni(NO3)2. This was filtered and dried at 100°C. Finally, metal nitrate treated carbon fibers were heated at 850°C for 3 h in argon atmosphere. Carbon fibers thus obtained were found to absorb hydrogen to the extent of 8.75 wt%. Taguchi optimization technique was adopted to find out the best parameters responsible to give highest hydrogen adsorption. Carbon fibers that showed 8.75 wt% hydrogen adsorption were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and Raman analysis., UL https://www.qscience.com/content/journals/10.5339/connect.2013.45
