Layered Graphene Sheets Could Be A Promising Hydrogen Storage Material

Green Car Congress

Graphene—carbon formed into sheets a single atom thick—now appears to be a promising base material for capturing hydrogen, according to recent research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Pennsylvania. No one else has ever made GOFs, to the best of our knowledge.
