Hydrogen Storage In Nanoparticles Works: Outlook For Hydrogen Cars Improved

April 2, 2008 | Source: Science Daily

Dutch chemist Kees Balde has discovered that 30-nanometer particles of the metal hydride sodium alanate make storage and release of hydrogen possible, allowing for it to be more easily used in mobile applications.

With the addition of a titanium catalyst, a further reduction in the particle size to 20 nanometers is possible, allowing for even more efficient storage of hydrogen.
