Novel 2D-crystals for the hydrogen economy

The University of Manchester Department of Physics and Astronomy

Graphene represents a conceptually new and large class of materials that are one or a just few atoms thick. These materials are completely impermeable to all gases at ambient conditions, but, unexpectedly, some are highly permeable to protons, nuclei of hydrogen atoms. Read more
