Summary:Diameter- and interlayer-controlled carbon nitride nanotubes (CNNTs) having nanopores with ∼6 Å diameters are synthesized by our new plasma-assisted growth method on catalysts located inside the organic silica mesoporous templates. Our experiments and first-principles calculations show that hydrogen stored inside nanopores of 6.2 Å are attributed to the hydrogen released at 257.24 K. A diameter- and interlayer-controlled carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT) shows that hydrogen could be ensnared into nanopores on the surface of the CNNT.
