Storing hydrogen in boride sheets is not an entirely new concept, and many aspects of their potential applications as hydrogen carriers have already been studied.<\/p>\n
However, getting the hydrogen out of the sheets is the tricky part. Heating at high temperatures or strong ultraviolet (UV) illumination is required to release hydrogen (H2) from the sheets.<\/p>\n
Moreover, both approaches have inherent disadvantages, such as high energy consumption or incomplete hydrogen release.<\/p>\n
The team developed a potential alternative: electrochemical release. Based on the mechanism of UV-induced hydrogen release from boride sheets, the team speculated that electron injection from a cathode electrode into nanosheets by an electric power supply could be a superior way to release hydrogen compared to UV irradiation or heating.<\/p>\n
