Towards A Better Way of Releasing Hydrogen Stored in Hydrogen Boride Sheets

Hydrogen stored in hydrogen boride sheets can be efficiently released electrochemically, report scientists at Tokyo Tech, Osaka Univ., and Univ. Tsukuba. Through a series of experiments, they demonstrated that dispersing these sheets in an organic solvent and applying a small voltage is enough to release all the stored hydrogen efficiently. These findings suggest hydrogen boride sheets could soon become a safe and convenient way to store and transport hydrogen, which is a cleaner and more sustainable fuel.
