Abstract
Described are systems and methods of storing adsorbing diborane on carbon adsorption medium. The invention discloses a vessel for storing diborane. The vessel includes: a vessel interior; microporous carbon adsorbent in the vessel interior; diborane in the vessel interior at least partially adsorbed on the microporous adsorbent. The microporous adsorbent includes slit pores between graphite layers at a graphite layer spacing that increases an activation energy required for diborane degradation relative to an activation energy of degradation of non-adsorbed gaseous diborane at ambient pressure, and at the same temperature.
