Abstract

The use of Li₃BN₂H₈ complex hydride as a practical hydrogen storage material is limited by its high desorption temperature and poor reversibility. While certain catalysts have been shown to decrease the dehydrogenation temperature, no significant improvement in reversibility has been reported thus far. In this study, we demonstrated that tuning the particle size to the nanometer scale by infiltration into nanoporous carbon scaffolds leads to dramatic improvements in the reversibility of Li ₃BN₂H₈. Possible changes in the dehydrogenation path were also observed in the nanoscaffolded hydride.
