Rice University scientists find O-doped boron nitride-graphene hybrid excellent candidate for on-board hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

Layers of graphene separated by nanotube pillars of boron nitride (PGBN) may be a excellent material for on-board hydrogen storage in vehicles, according to a computational study by a pair of Rice University scientists. Calculations for O-doped PGBN yielded gravimetric hydrogen uptake capacities greater than 11.6 wt% and 40-60 g/L.
