Lithium Hydrazinidoborane: A Polymorphic Material with Potential for Chemical Hydrogen Storage

Clathrate hydrogen hydrate--a promising material for hydrogen storage.

Hydrogen is viewed as a promising clean fuel of the future. A low-cost hydrogen storage technology that provides a high storage capacity and fast kinetics is a critical factor in the development of a hydrogen economy for transportation. The technologies to store hydrogen can be classified into three types: compression, liquefaction, and storage in a solid material. 2] Compressing hydrogen requi...

Calcium amidotrihydroborate: a hydrogen storage material.

Nanoscale Magnesium as a Hydrogen Storage Material

A self-catalyzing hydrogen-storage material.

Conventional (e.g. MgH2) and complex hydrides (e.g. alanates, borohydrides, and amides) are the two primary classes of solid-state hydrogen-storage materials. Many of these “high-density” hydrides have the potential to store large amounts of hydrogen by weight (up to 18.5 wt% for LiBH4) and/or volume (up to 112 gL!1 for MgH2), values that are comparable to the hydrogen content of gasoline (15.8...

Lithium Hydrazinidoborane Ammoniate LiN2H3BH3·0.25NH3, a Derivative of Hydrazine Borane

Boron- and nitrogen-based materials have shown to be attractive for solid-state chemical hydrogen storage owing to gravimetric hydrogen densities higher than 10 wt% H. Herein, we report a new derivative of hydrazine borane N₂H₄BH₃, namely lithium hydrazinidoborane ammoniate LiN₂H₃BH₃·0.25NH₃. It is easily obtained in ambient conditions by ball-milling N₂H₄BH₃ and lithium amide LiNH₂ taken in eq...
