Electrochemical Hydrogen Storage in Amine‐Activated Polydopamine [PDF]
AbstractElectrochemical hydrogen storage combines the evolution, oxidation, and storage of hydrides from aqueous electrolytes and ionic liquids, but presently requires palladium or rare‐earth metals to achieve significant power capacities. Here hydrogen electrosorption in amine‐activated polydopamine is shown.
