Graphene sheets could be used to extract hydrogen from the atmosphere for use in fuel cells.

Graphene is the world’s thinnest material, made up of only a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It is 200 times stronger than steel.

This exciting new material has a number of special qualities that make it highly suitable for use in various technologies. In a potentially revolutionizing discovery, scientists in the UK have found that protons can pass through graphene.
