Carbon Nanomaterials as One of the Options for Hydrogen Storage

Abstract

Carbon Nanomaterials as One of the Options for Hydrogen Storage In the ensuing Hydrogen Economy, cost effective and safety storage of hydrogen assumes importance. Among the various modes of storage, Solid State storage has definite advantages for mobile and stationary applications. However, among the probable solid-state materials, the desired levels of storage (at least around 6 weight %) can be possible in carbon materials suitably modified with activation centers. Variety of modifications of carbon materials have been examined for hydrogen storage. However, the search has still to continue till the desired levels of storage under ambient conditions is achieved.
