Coordinated by Professor Javier Bermejo of the UPV-EHU, an international group has analyzed a new carbon structure to see the possibilities it offers as an adsorbent and find an effective way to capture hydrogen. This structure is formed by nanotubular aggregates that have the shape of branches that close at one end. The set has approximately 0.1 micrometers and has a floral shape. In addition, it can adsorb large amounts of gas.

In fact, they have seen that hydrogen adheres to nanorama with a solidity different from other nanostructures and, however, can be released when you want to use it.
