MY FULBRIGHT STORY
Yu. S. Nechaev
From September 30, 2003 till September 29, 2004, I have been a visiting professor-researcher at the Clean Energy Research Institute (CERI), Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL 33146-0622, USA, working on the Fulbright grant project "Physical-chemical foundations and perspectives of using novel carbon-based nanomaterials in hydrogen fuel cell systems for ecologically clean electric vehicles" (the Host Professor T. N. Veziroglu (veziroglu@miami.edu)).
It has resulted in a series of publications, conferences' presentations, seminars and pre-application related to the non-conventional thermodynamic approaches of the Analytical Materials Science, which have been used by myself for solving the Project Study Problems.

Our contributions on the hydrogen embrittle-ment micromechamisms have been presented to the Hydrogen2004 (April 2004, Los Angeles, CA, USA) by me, Ref. (4)), to the Fourth International Conference "Hydrogen Treatment of Materials" (May 2004, Donetsk, Ukraine) by Academician V. A. Goltsov and to the CMES-04 (July 2004, Cap-padocia-Nigde, Turkey) by Dr. J. G. Hirschberg.
Recently, our contributions on the experimental (thermodynamic) evaluations of the hydrogen-graphite interaction characteristics, for optimizing the storage materials, have been presented to the 15th WHEC (June-July 2004, Yokohama, Japan) by Dr. T. N. Veziroglu, to the CarboCat-2004 (July 2004, Lausanne, Switzerland) and the CMES-04 (July 2004, Cappadocia-Nigde, Turkey) by Dr. J.G.

((7-11, 13)).
Our Pre-Application "Experimental and Theoretical Evaluations of the Hydrogen-Graphite Interaction Characteristics" (related to the development of a super hydrogen storage nanomaterial, Refs. (7-13)) to BES Hydrogen Solicitation DE-FG01-04ER04-20 has been recently discouraged, though it is devoted to non-conventional effective approaches in solving the urgent DoE goals formulated by Dr. Sverdrup in the presentation "The National Hydrogen Storage Project" to the WREC.
On the basis of results of Refs. (3-6), a proposal can be prepared and submitted to the Grant Programs of the US Department of Energy (DoE) as: "Physics of hydrogen transport in metals and alloys and hydrogen-assisted damage micromech-anisms"; it is related to solving the urgent problems, those have been formulated in Report of the Basic Energy Sciences Workshop of the U.S. DoE (May 13-15, 2003) on Hydrogen Production, Storage and Use (p. 126-127, 49).
The Fulbright project analytical results have been judged by the scientists of Oak-Ridge National Laboratory, Columbian Chemicals Company, Florida Solar Energy Center (University of Central Florida), Florida International University and the Host
Institution (through the seminars presentation) as important findings that could lead to breakthroughs, eliminating the stronghold of the world's dependence on petroleum. They have urged me to continue the research on this vital topic.
Conclusions ¡<
ft
Such my activities, and the dissemination of * the project results, might bring to the research- | ers' attention the importance of using the car- ^ bon-based nanomaterials in the hydrogen on- | board storage for fuel cell non-pollution vehicles, ^ as was advocated in recently released data (Feb- | ruary 14, 2004) by the Pacific Northwest Na- s tional Laboratory entitled "Highway to Hydro- g gen: A long and winding road" (www.pnl.gov/ q news/2004/04-06.htm).
The 4-months' extension of my Fulbright Scholarship has allowed me to complete the work, and disseminate the project results, which present the non-conventional effective approaches of the Analytical Materials Science for solving the DoE problem of the hydrogen on-board storage, that is a bottleneck in the FreedomCar (Cooperative Automotive Research) and the hydrogen fuel goals of the President's initiatives (www.whitehouse.gov/ news/release/...2/18/04).
