Nanotech to boost solid state hydrogen storage

Nanotech to boost solid state hydrogen storage
ydrogen has great potential as a clean fuel source for powering our cars andairplanes, but it also poses some big hurdles – namely production, distribution infrastructure and storage. Storing hydrogen in gas or liquid form onboard a vehicle raises difficulties in terms of volume and pressurization – a hydrogen gas tank for a car would need to be around four times larger than current petroleum tanks.
