Practical hydrogen storage---almost :-)

this is a titanium studded organic polymer developed at a Korean lab that is claimed

able to store 7.6 percent by weight of hydrogen.

 

so 100 kilograms of the polymer could store 7.6 kilograms of hydrogen.

 

 

it is a polyacetylene polymer "decorated" by atoms of titanium. a picture of the molecular structure is included

making a SPONGE that can soak up a lot of hydrogen even at moderate pressure

hydrogen cars here we come!

hydrogen cars here we come!

 

Now we just have to make hydrogen without using fossil fuels...

yeah i know. but one of the issues was storage of the hydrogen. its one more hurdle thats coming down. I'm pro nuclear for the production of hydrogen. we just need to get fusion figured out.
