(Pt-C60)@SiO2 nanocomposites for convenient chemical hydrogen storage†
Abstract
(Pt-C60)@SiO2 nanocomposites with a core–shell structure have been successfully synthesized by a step-by-step method. These hollow nanocomposites are capable of reversible hydrogen storage at appropriate temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a capacity of around 1.8 wt% (based on C60).
