Material Derived From Carbonized Chicken Feathers Could Meet DOE Hydrogen Storage Targets

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage—carbonized chicken feathers (CCFF)—that they say could meet the DOE requirements for hydrogen storage and are competitive with carbon nanotubes and metal hydrates at a tiny fraction of their cost.
