Excess adsorption dominated by KOH:C ratio. 2.Volumetric storage capacity decreases with increasing activation temperature. 3. 2.5K activated at 700 oC has record volumetric storage capacity of 132 g CH4/liter carbon at 35 bar and 22 oC (200 V/V, 110% of DOE target of 118 g/liter). Has only micropores (< 2nm). Large surface area and low porosity is key to volumetric storage capacity. 4. 4K activated at 790 oC has record gravimetric storage capacity of 256 g CH4/kg carbon at 35 bar and 22 oC. Presence of mesopores raises gravimetric storage capacity. 5. Langmuir and Ono-Kondo analysis of CH4 excess isotherms at 295 K gives surface area (2400-2700 m2/g, agree with BET area), film thickness (~0.4 nm), saturated film density (320-440 g/cm3), and average binding energy (8-9 kJ/mol). 6.Briquetting can increase volumetric storage capacity by factor of 2 if surface area remains constant. %G English %L hal-00820620 %U https://hal.science/hal-00820620 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ L2C %~ INC-CNRS %~ MADIREL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
