Mechanochemical reactions doubled hydrogen storage

Caption

Barium titanate oxyhydride was produced from barium titanate via standard topochemical reactions (using heat) and the new mechanochemical reactions (by grinding). The mechanochemical reaction doubled the amount of hydrogen that could be stored in the perovskite from 17% to 34%.
