Researchers provide evidence for spillover effect in activated carbon systems for hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

An MIT-led team of researchers from Taiwan and the US have successfully analyzed the performance of a class of materials considered a promising candidate for hydrogen storage: activated carbon that incorporates a platinum catalyst, allowing the hydrogen atoms can bond directly to the surface of carbon particles and then be released when needed.
