HYDROGEN OCCLUDING MATERIAL AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD, HYDROGEN OCCLUDING BODY, HYDROGEN STORAGE APPARATUS AND FUEL CELL VEHICLE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen occluding material which is manufactured by using a carbon-based material represented by a carbon nano-tube and the hydrogen occluding capacity of which is increased by using its internal space efficiently and to provide a hydrogen occluding body, a hydrogen storage apparatus, a fuel cell vehicle and a method for manufacturing the hydrogen occluding material. PSOLUTION: This hydrogen occluding material is constituted such that at least one or more openings are formed on the tip part or the side wall part of a columnar or prismatic molecule having a planar sheet consisting of a six-membered ring of carbon atoms as a side wall. This hydrogen occluding material has the R value being the ratio (Id/Ig) of 0.02 and 0.10 (wherein Id is the spectrum-integrated intensity of the D band obtained by using a laser-Raman's spectrophotometer and Ig is the spectrum-integrated intensity of the G band).
