Annotation Sorption and subsequent desorption of hydrogen by graphene oxide powder which was thermally redu-ced at temperatures of 200, 300, 500, 700 and 900 °С were investigated in 9-290 K temperature interval. The resulting dependence of the quantity of adsorbed hydrogen on the reduction temperature had a nonmonotonic character. The maximum values of the quantity of sorbed hydrogen were observed for the samples reduced at temperatures of 300 and 900 °С. It was assumed that the increase in the sorption ability of the samples reduced at 300 °C is due to the disordering of the layered structure of graphene oxide by removing the intercalated water. Heat treatment at 900 °C also increased the sorption capacity of the sample due to the formation of multiple defects of carbon surfaces by removing oxygen-containing groups.
