Clean Energy: Carbon Nanohorns For The Storage Of Hydrogen

Hydrogen would be the ideal candidate to replace fossil fuels if only it wasn’t so difficult to store it safely. Researchers at CNRS have discovered a storage solution which is both efficient and cheap: carbon nanohorns. With such structures, the hydrogen-carbon bond is far more stable than with nanotubes. This study removes the obstacles which prevented any possibility of carbon-based nanomaterials finding industrial applications.
