Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations are performed to study hydrogen physisorption in different nano carbon porous materials made up of different substructures including carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene sheets and C60. Hydrogen weight percentage (wt%) at different temperatures with pressure ranging from 1 to 20MPa are predicted. Fugacity and quantum effects on hydrogen adsorption are investigated. Different structural dimensions including the sizes of the substructures and spacing between the substructures are used to study the geometrical effects on hydrogen storage capacity in carbon materials. The calculated results generally agree well with available data from other calculations. It is concluded that CNT arrays, graphite nanofibers (GNF) and C60 intercalated graphite (CIG) are not promising to reach the DOE 6.5 wt% target at room temperature. It is also found that the quantum effect is significant in low temperature hydrogen adsorption and different treatments to account for the quantum effect also influence the predicted wt% differently.
