RIKEN Baton Zone Program Hydrogen Energy Storage Technology Laboratory
Team Leader: Naoki Uchiyama (Ph.D.)
Deputy Team Leader: Daigo Miyajima (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
RIKEN developed the first highly ordered graphitic carbon nitride film. With this new technology, we tackle to develop a novel porous material featuring ultra-high hydrogen storage capacity and excellent hydrogen desorption. We believe that our challenge can reduce the size of conventional hydrogen storage tanks by half. Furthermore, we will realize a flat tank for hydrogen storage and reduce hydrogen filling pressure.
