This way, an accurate determination of the hydrogen mass absorbed in electrodes made from those assemblies can be achieved by significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The hydrogen desorption mass spectra account for the enhanced surface capability for hydrogen adsorption in the electrodes and enable a comparison with the performance of a palladium electrode in similar conditions. A comparative study involving different carbon nanotube electrodes, in similar hydrogen uptake\/desorption conditions, clearly confirmed the expectations about their enhanced hydrogen storage capacity and points to the great potential of carbon nanotube assemblies in replacing the heavier metal alloys as electrocatalysts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano11040975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]],"date-time":"2021-04-12T05:52:00Z","timestamp":1618206720000},"page":"975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["RETRACTED: Hydrogen Uptake and Release in Carbon Nanotube Electrocatalysts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Lobo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nanophysics\/Nanotechnology and Energy (N2E), Center of Technology and Systems (CTS-UNINOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829\u2013516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Physics, Nova School of Science &amp; Technology, Nova University of Lisbon, 2829\u2013516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nanophysics\/Nanotechnology and Energy (N2E), Center of Technology and Systems (CTS-UNINOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829\u2013516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7442-5859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipe","family":"Inok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nanophysics\/Nanotechnology and Energy (N2E), Center of Technology and Systems (CTS-UNINOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829\u2013516 Caparica, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8894","DOI":"10.1021\/jp991100y","article-title":"Kinetics of Propene Desorption from Pd (111) Studied by Thermal Desorption","volume":"103","author":"Thornburg","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
