Advanced materials for hydrogen storage

Experimental activities

At Risø we have a wide variety of different experimental facilities for preparation and characterisation of materials for solid state hydroge storage. Furthermore we also have access to some of the large facilities in Europe for both synchrotrons  and neutron sources.
