Hydrogen researchers found breakthrough for transporting hydrogen

Belgium – Researchers at Louvain-la-Neuve University claim to have found a breakthrough for transporting hydrogen in large quantities. By storing the hydrogen in porous materials where the hydrogen molecules attach to the surface of molecular pores, the required pressure can be reduced and the storage temperature increased. So far, transport of hydrogen in gaseous form […]
