Synthesis, structural characterization, and hydrolysis of Ammonia Borane (NH3BH3) as a hydrogen storage carrier

High pressure ammonia decomposition on Ru–K/CaO catalysts

“…NH 3 offers several advantages: high volumetric (108 kg H 2 per m 3 NH 3 at 20°C and 8.6 bar) and gravimetric energy density (17.8 wt%), ease of storage and transport, and the fact that NH 3 production is a very well established technology (global production of 176 million metric tons in 2014 (ref. [17][18][19][20][21]); these all point to ammonia as a very promising energy carrier readily compatible with the current distribution network. Moreover, ammonia decomposition is economically more viable than reforming processes, including methanol reforming, 22,23 and hydrogen and N 2 are the only decomposition products, in contrast to the coproduction of CO, CO 2 , and CH 4 from other liquid H 2 carriers.…”

Dehydrogenation properties of the LiNH2BH3/MgH2 and LiNH2BH3/LiBH4 bi-component hydride systems for hydrogen storage applications

“…of investigations have focused on the dehydrogenation properties of NH 3 BH 3 [18][19][20][21][22][23]. In previous studies, one protonic hydrogen of ammonia borane was substituted by alkali or alkaline-earth elements to achieve a chemically modified compound with acceptable hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behaviour [24][25][26].…”

About the Technological Readiness of the H2 Generation by Hydrolysis of B(−N)−H Compounds

“…It is necessarily more expensivet han as ystem using NaBH 4 because NH 3 BH 3 is synthesized from NaBH 4 (Figure 10) through as tepwisep rocess taking at least 24 h. [137][138][139] Let us take the followingr eaction [Eq. (6)] as an example of the pathway: [140]…”
