| description | Using hydrogen energy as an alternative renewable source of fuel is no longer an unrealized dream, it now has real-world application. The influence of nanomaterials on various aspects of hydrogen energy, such as hydrogen production, storage, and safety, is considerable. In this review, we present a brief overview of the nanomaterials that have been used as photocatalysts during hydrogen production. The use of nanomaterials and nanomaterial composites for hydrogen storage is also reviewed. The specific use of graphene and its associated nanocomposites, as well as the milestones reached through its application are elaborated. The need to widen the applicability of graphene and its allied forms for hydrogen energy applications is stressed in the future perspectives. Hydrogen energy is our future hope as an alternative renewable fuel, and graphene has the potential to become the future of hydrogen energy generation. |
