Electrochemical Storage of Hydrogen in Nanotube Materials

Abstract

The discovery of new allotropes has stimulated research in the storage of hydrogen in carbon. Recent publications claim carbon nanotubes can store remarkable amounts of gaseous hydrogen. In this article we show that nanotube‐containing material can electrochemicaly store relatively large amounts of hydrogen. The reaction is highly reversible and nanotubes were used to produce electrodes for rechargeable batteries. ©1999 The Electrochemical Society
