A method for generating hydrogen and making graphenic carbon particles is disclosed comprising introducing an inert carrier gas and a hydrocarbon precursor material comprising a material capable of forming a two-carbon-fragment species and/or methane into a thermal zone, heating the hydrocarbon precursor material in the thermal zone to decompose the hydrocarbon precursor material and form the hydrogen and the graphenic carbon particles, and contacting the gaseous stream with a quench stream. Graphenic carbon particles having an average aspect ratio greater than 3:1, a B.E.T. specific surface area of from 70 to 1000 square meters per gram, and a Raman spectroscopy 2D/G peak ratio of at least 1:1.
