Hydrogen Production via Hydrolysis and Alcoholysis of Light Metal-Based Materials: A Review
As an environmentally friendly and high-density energy carrier, hydrogen has been recognized as one of the ideal alternatives for fossil fuels. One of the major challenges faced by “hydrogen economy” is the development of efficient, low-cost, safe and ...

Hydrides as high capacity anodes in lithium cells: an Italian “Futuro in Ricerca di Base FIRB-2010” project [PDF]
Automotive and stationary energy storage are among the most recently-proposed and still unfulfilled applications for lithium ion devices. Higher energy, power and superior safety standards, well beyond the present state of the art, are actually ...

First-principles predicted low-energy structures of NaSc(BH4)4 [PDF]
According to previous interpretations of experimental data, sodium-scandium double-cation borohydride NaSc(BH$_4$)$_4$ crystallizes in the crystallographic space group $Cmcm$ where each sodium (scandium) atom is surrounded by six scandium (sodium) atoms.

Exploring structural and electronic effects in three isomers of tris{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}borane: Towards the combined electrochemical-frustrated Lewis pair activation of H2 [PDF]
Three structural isomers of tris{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}borane have been studied as the acidic com- ponent of frustrated Lewis pairs. While the 3,5-substituted isomer is already known to heterolytically cleave H2 to generate a bridging-hydride; ortho-

Molecular Dynamics in Tetrafluoridoborate Salts of Divalent Metals Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. [PDF]
We studied molecular dynamics in four tetrafluoridoborate salts by means of nuclear magnetic resonance. Characteristical motions in these systems are thermally‐activated reorientations of BF4− ions. We determine the activation energies for these processes and compare the dynamics with those in borohydride systems that share the tetrahedral geometry of ...

Dehydrogenation of Surface-Oxidized Mixtures of 2LiBH4 + Al/Additives (TiF3 or CeO2)
Research for suitable hydrogen storage materials is an important ongoing subject. LiBH4–Al mixtures could be attractive; however, several issues must be solved. Here, the dehydrogenation reactions of surface-oxidized 2LiBH4 + Al mixtures plus an additive
