Fuel cells

Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out the amount of hydrogen that can be stored in perovskite crystalline powder. The trick is to introduce the hydrogen into the perovskite lattice structure using mechanochemistry—chemical reactions that occur by physically grinding and mixing compounds together.
