A New Way Of Releasing Hydrogen From Hydrogen Boride Sheets

March 21, 2024 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Tokyo Institute of Technology scientists have reported hydrogen stored in hydrogen boride sheets can be efficiently released electrochemically. 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. The results suggest hydrogen boride sheets could […]
