Hydrogen Storage in Carbon Nanostructures: Possibilities and Challenges for Fundamental Molecular Simulations

This paper discusses the potential for hydrogen storage in carbon nanostructures through a better understanding at the fundamental molecular level. The use of hydrogen as a fuel is limited in large part because of lack of progress in developing suitable storage and delivery systems. Materials that adsorb significant quantities of hydrogen are therefore urgently needed. The special hydrogen adsorbing characteristics of carbon nanomaterials make …
