PCCP Invited Article is Science Editors' Choice


23 March 2007

We are delighted to announce that the PCCP Invited Article by Professor David Sholl has been selected as one of Science magazine's Editors' Choices this week.  In this Invited Article, Professor Sholl uses density functional theory to identify new destablised metal hydride reactions, many of which have sufficient hydrogen storage capacities to be useful in practical applications such as fuel cells.  

"There are significant challenges for mankind in the years and decades to come relating to the production and storage of energy, and I hope the articles in this themed series will help to address these challenges."
- Dirk Guldi, Guest Editor

This article is published as part of the PCCP Themed Issues on Alternative Fuel Technologies.  The themed issues feature the very latest research covering fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion, supercapacitors and molecular materials, along with research on hydrogen storage, solar energy conversion, artificial photosynthesis and biohydrogen.
