How a crumpled sheet of graphene oxide could clean up hydrogen production

[Mechanically deformed membranes enable fast and selective hydrogen separation, with industrial promise at low energy cost.] Most of the world’s hydrogen, often touted as a green fuel, is produced alongside carbon dioxide. The challenge is separating the clean from the dirty. Conventional membranes can either sieve molecular with pinpoint precision or let them pass rapidly …
