Abstract
A single walled carbon nanohorn adsorptive material which comprises a single walled carbon nanohorn and a lanthanide metal deposited thereon and has methane absorptivity is produced, whereby a single walled carbon nanohorn adsorptive material which can adsorb much methane and is effective as a methane adsorbing material is provided.
Claims6
A single walled carbon nanohorn adsorptive material having methane absorptivity, wherein a lanthanide metal is deposited on a single walled carbon nanohorn.
A method for producing a single walled carbon nanohorn adsorptive material, wherein a lanthanide metal is deposited on a single walled carbon nanohorn by suspending a single walled carbon nanohorn in ethanol, adding a predetermined amount of an ethanolic lanthanide nitrate solution, performing sonication, and evaporating to dryness.
