One ideal way to get H2 is inventing a suitable catalyst on which water can decompose to H2 and O2 directly with sunshine.Page21The technology of hydrogen storage must be enormously improved before Hydrogen Energy be

Though these materials all have different problems now, we will invent a proper material for hydrogen storage in the near future.ProblemandProspectPage22Nuclear powerFundament
