Adsorption of hydrogen in four types of activated carbons of different origin with specific micropore volumes ranging from 0.46 to 0.96 cm3/g is studied at temperatures of 303, 313, 323, and 333 K and pressures up to 20 MPa. The saturation adsorption of hydrogen vapors in the considered types of activated carbons is calculated at the hydrogen boiling point (20.38 K) and a pressure of 0.101 MPa using the Dubinin theory of volume filling of micropores (TVFM). The theoretical calculations show that the type FAS-2008 adsorbent, which is produced using liquid-phase furfural polymerization, has the highest adsorption capacity. Using the TVFM and taking into account linearity of the adsorption isosteres, we also estimate adsorption of hydrogen in the type AU3:5 slit-shaped microporous carbon adsorbent at a temperature of 303 K and pressures 10 and 20 MPa. The collected experimental data and theoretical calculations are compared to the data for 101 kPa and 20.38 K. The highest hydrogen adsorption, 7.9 wt %, at 20 MPa and 303 K is predicted for a model slit-shaped microporous graphene-based adsorbent, type AU3:5.
