“…Numerous solid-state hydrogen storage materials have been developed to store hydrogen in an energy or volume efficient way [2]. Complex hydrides, e.g., alanates [3][4][5], borohydrides [6][7][8], and amide-hydride systems [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] are promising to OPEN ACCESS fulfill the on-board hydrogen storage requirements. In particular, a number of amide-hydride systems, such as Li-N-H [10], Li-Mg-N-H [11,13,[17][18][19][20], Li-Ca-N-H [14], Li-Al-N-H [15], Mg-N-H [12], Ca-N-H [16], and so on [9,14,21,22] have been investigated since 2002.…”
