Study of borohydride ionic liquids as hydrogen storage materials

Application of Ionic Liquids in Hydrogen Storage Systems

Hydrogen bonding in ionic liquids.

Ionic liquids (IL) and hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) are two diverse fields for which there is a developing recognition of significant overlap. Doubly ionic H-bonds occur when a H-bond forms between a cation and anion, and are a key feature of ILs. Doubly ionic H-bonds represent a wide area of H-bonding which has yet to be fully recognised, characterised or explored. H-bonds in ILs (both protic ...

Ionic Liquids for Advanced Materials

Multidisciplinary research has served as the cornerstone of the first year ILEAD MURI programs leading to working collaborations among scientists and engineers with graduate student exchanges, real-time feedback, and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed publications. The MURI research team is organized according to interdisciplinary and integrative fundamental questions of science and engineering, a...

New chemical hydrogen storage materials exploiting the self-sustaining thermal decomposition of guanidinium borohydride.

Guanidinium borohydride (GBH) was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and found to release more than 10 wt% H(2) as a fairly pure stream during a self-sustaining thermal decomposition reaction both with and without additives that were identified to reduce the concentration of the main ammonia impurity and control the reaction sustainability.
