Hydrogen electrode reaction of lithium and sodium aluminum hydrides

Electrochemical hydrogenation of nanocrystalline face-centered cubic Co powder

“…There has been an intensive effort to search for new materials with high hydrogen storage capacity and good retention of capacity for hydrogen energy application in the last several decades, such as alkaline metal aluminum hydride [1], LiN [2], metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [3], metal-CNT [4,5], Co-Si [6,7], and so on. Until now, only AB 5 -type hydrogen storage alloys have been often used as an anode material in secondary Ni-MH battery.…”

Aluminum Hydride (Alane)

“…Though not directed at the regeneration of alane, elaborate research and extensive studies on the electrochemical properties of this type of electrolyte have been reported [56,57]. NaAlH 4 is dissolved in this solvent, forming the ionic solution (Na þ /AlH 4 À /THF) which is used as an electrolyte.…”

ChemInform Abstract: Aluminum Hydride: A Reversible Material for Hydrogen Storage.

“…Though not directed at the regeneration of alane, elaborate research and extensive studies on the electrochemical properties of this type of electrolyte have been reported. 14,15 Although attempts in the past were made to synthesize alane electrochemically, [16][17][18] none have shown isolated material or a characterized alane product. Thermodynamic properties of the above electrolyte, along with cyclic voltammetry were the basis for conducting this electrochemical process.…”
