<p>Carbonaceous materials are described, having utility for fluid storage/dispensing and desulfurization applications. The carbonaceous material in one implementation is a nanoporous carbon composite having porosity that is at least partially filled with material imparting to the composite an enhanced character with respect to characteristics selected from the group consisting of hardness, wear-resistance and toughness, as compared with the nanoporous carbon alone. Another implementation utilizes porous carbon material as a storage medium for chlorine gas. A further implementation utilizes porous carbon material as a hydrogen storage medium, e.g., for hydrogen fuel cells. In another implementation, porous carbon material is employed as a sorbent medium in a fluid storage and dispensing system, in an arrangement of multiple porous carbon articles, and positional stabilization structure is employed to restrain the arrangement against movement. Infrared emitter devices are described, which utilize carbon adsorbent to store silane for reaction with oxygen in a controlled manner. An arrangement in which carbon adsorbent is desorbed of residual fluid by resistive and/or inductive heating of the adsorbent is described. Also described is a method of increasing the loading capacity of a porous carbon adsorbent, by contacting of the carbon adsorbent with a swelling agent, followed by contacting of the carbon adsorbent with a pressurized gaseous penetration agent, and by removal of the swelling agent and penetration agent.</p> |
