Abstract

The dehydrogenation of C60 · H18.7 was studied using thermogravimetric and powder x-ray diffraction analysis. C60 · H18.7 was found to be stable up to 430 °C in Ar at which point the release of hydrogen initiated the collapse of a fraction of fullerene molecules. X-ray diffraction analysis performed on C60 · H18.7 samples dehydrogenated at 454, 475, and 600 °C displayed an increasing volume fraction of amorphous material. The decomposition product comprises randomly oriented, single-layer graphite sheets. Evolved gas analysis using gas chromatograph (GC) mass spectroscopy confirmed the presence of both H2 and methane upon dehydrogenation. Attempts to improve reversibility or reduce hydrogenation/ dehydrogenation temperatures by addition of Ru and Pt catalysts were unsuccessful.
