Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of hydrogen release from ethane 1,2-di-amineborane

Hydrogen storage in amine boranes: Ionic liquid supported thermal dehydrogenation of ethylene diamine bisborane

“…The performances of imidazolium ILs correlate with the polarity, where polar ILs bring a greater benefit to the reaction than unpolar ones. This effect is accounted to stabilization of the ionic intermediate suggested by Bowden, Autrey et al [5].…”

“…The dehydrogenations of EDB as well as AB proceed via an ionic intermediate as shown in Fig. 1 [5,11]. The formation of the intermediate is proposed to be the rate determining step.…”

“…The decomposition of AB derivatives can circumvent this problem since nitrogen substituted derivatives of borazine as well as substituted amines are substantially less volatile. In this context methyl amine borane (MeAB) [19], sec-butyl amine borane (SBAB) [20], hydrazine borane (HB) [7] and ethylene diamine bisborane (EDB) have been investigated [5,6].…”

Application of Ionic Liquids in Hydrogen Storage Systems

“…(Neiner et al, 2011) The characteristics in decomposition are especially interesting due to the purity of released hydrogen without additives. No volatile by-products are released up to a temperature of 200 °C.…”

“…The most important are: hydrazine borane (HB), (Hugle et al, 2009) guanidinium borohydride (GBH), (Groshens & Hollins, 2009) ethylenediamine bisborane (EDB), (Neiner et al, 2011) methylguanidinium borohydride (Me-GBH) (Doroodian et al, 2010) and different alkyl amine boranes ( Figure 3). (Bowden et al, 2008;Mal et al, 2011) On the frontier between molecular and metal hydride storage materials are the metal amido borane compounds, which are not in the scope of this chapter.…”
