Progress in Synthesizing Ammonia Borane for Use in H2 Storage Systems

Posted on June 23, 2008

Different ammonia borane (AB) materials (red diamonds) show promise for meeting the DOE systems requirements for an on-board hydrogen storage material (the area inside the dotted lines). Click to enlarge. Source: DOEResearchers at US Department of Energy s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have made progress on developing a simple one-pot reaction to make ammonia borane (NH3BH3, abbreviated as AB), which at formula 19 wt% H2, is a chemical hydrogen storage material of ongoing interest for use in on-board storage systems. They report on their process in the inaugural issue of...
