Graphene, CNT and Hydrogen have a large range of applications, below a few examples

A hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle (HICEV) is a type of hydrogen vehicle using an internal combustion engine. Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (which use electrochemical use of hydrogen rather than combustion). Instead, the hydrogen internal combustion engine is simply a modified version of the traditional gasoline-powered internal combustion engine.
In the field of mobile technology, graphene applications could be varied and touch everything from transparent flexible screens to next-gen batteries which could last much longer and charge faster than any current technology, through durable phone casings and extremely powerful processors.
Graphene offers higher electronical conductivity than lithium-ion batteries. This allows for faster-charging cells that are able to deliver very high currents as well.
This is particularly useful for car batteries, for example, or fast device-to-device charging.
High heat conductance also means that batteries run cooler, prolonging their lifespan even in cramped cases like a smartphone.
Solar panels today work best during periods of strong sunlight, but start to wane when it gets cloudy or rainy. A breakthrough in graphene-based solar panels could change all that, by allowing solar panels to generate electricity during inclement weather.
Graphene-based solar cells, say the researchers from the Ocean University of China, would be able to derive energy from raindrops that happen to fall on the panel, by taking advantage of the various salts present within the liquid.
