The Hydrogen Economy
Open accessAbstract
If the fuel cell is to become the modern steam engine, basic research must provide breakthroughs in understanding, materials, and design to make a hydrogen-based energy system a vibrant and competitive force

The proposed circular plastics lifecycle would be driven by the closed-loop removal and incorporation of hydrogen.
“this proposed circular plastics lifecycle would be driven by the closed-loop removal and incorporation of hydrogen”
From Chemically recyclable polyolefin-like multiblock polymers (2023) · cites this paper as [27]
The “Storing hydrogen” section describes a cycle of hydrogen capture and release in storage materials, which supports the general idea of reversible hydrogen uptake. It does not discuss a circular plastics lifecycle or establish that hydrogen removal and incorporation would drive one. (LLM, conf=0.80)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
