The Research Progress of Boron Nitride Nano-Tubes in Hydrogen Storage

Abstract:

There are a series of problems existing in global issues, such as the increasing energy demand, environmental pollution, haze and global warming. Thus, the hydrogen energy attracts more attention of new energy industry. The materials of hydrogen storage are ideal renewable energy carrier; the combustion of hydrogen forms water is pollution-free for the environment and releases large amounts of heat. This paper systematically introduces the structure, preparation methods, and hydrogen storage capability of boron nitride nanotubes. It also highlights the importance of boron nitride nanotubes, which we believe will play a promoting role for the hydrogen storage materials.
