Ni/MCM-41 samples have been successfully prepared by wet impregnation method with different degrees of metal loading. Various techniques including X-ray diffraction, N-2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, electron microprobe analysis, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, infrared analysis, adsorption of pyridine coupled to infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen adsorption at 77 K at high and low pressure conditions were employed for the materials characterization. The Ni loading degree had a marked influence on the structural, chemical, acid and hydrogen storage properties of the samples. Thus, a low Ni loading favors the presence of highly dispersed Ni species responsible of the Lewis acidity. These species would promote hydrogen-favorable sites leading to a positive effect on the hydrogen storage capacity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
