Hydrogen Economy? Organic Polymer Stores Hydrogen Safely
Scientists are exploring the safe storage of hydrogen to power vehicles as an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline have made a promising new discovery. Having already developed an organic polymer capable of storing 1.7 per cent hydrogen by weight, one team of scientists can now report the creation of an organic polymer able to store around three per cent hydrogen by weight. They hope to one day be able to produce an organic polymer capable of storing enough hydrogen to successfully power a vehicle. Potato powered mp3 player
