High-pressure hydrogenated carbon experimental methods

Novel means of storing hydrogen are the subject of intensive research because of the problems with the methods described earlier. In particular, there has been considerable experimentation with hydrogen storage in fullerenes ( buckyballs or carbon nanotubes ), which are microscopic structures fashioned out of carbon. Recent research indicates that there is potential for buckyball storage through a combination of chemical and physical containment but at very high temperature and pressure.20 These novel...
