State‐of‐the‐Art and Synthetic Challenges for Hydrosilane Production
The synthesis of hydrosilanes is currently energy intensive and their recycling is not considered. However, these compounds are important in many industrial fields but also for the valorization of oxygenated waste, towards a circular economy. This review compares the available synthetic routes and highlights the remaining challenges for the production ...
