Abstract
This chapter summarizes the experimental results of gas-phase hydrogenation of fullerenes to demonstrate their potential as a high-capacity hydrogen-storage material. Based on the obtained data, practically important relationships between weight per cent hydrogen and temperature-pressure-time conditions of the reaction were established. In addition, the composition of fullerene hydrides obtained under various conditions was characterized.
