AbstractIn contrast to the traditional metal hydrides, in which hydrogen storage involves the reversible hydrogen entering/exiting of the host hydride lattice, LiBH4 releases hydrogen via decomposition that produces segregated LiH and amorphous B phases. This is obviously the reason why lithium borohydride applications in fuel cells so far meet only one requirement — high hydrogen storage capacity. Nevertheless, its thermodynamics and kinetics studies are very active today and efficient ways to meet fuel cell requirements might be done through lowering the temperature for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and suitable catalyst. Some improvements are expected to enable LiBH4 to be used in on-board hydrogen storage.

Magnesium hydride and its compounds have a high hydrogen storage capacity and are inexpensive, and thus have been considered as one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials for on-board applications.

Complex metal hydrides such as sodium aluminohydride (NaAlH4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) are solid-state hydrogen-storage materials with high hydrogen capacities. They can be used in combination with fuel cells as a hydrogen source thus enabling longer operation times compared with classical metal hydrides. The most important point for a wide application of these materials is the reversibility under moderate technical conditions. At present, only NaAlH4 has favorable thermodynamic properties and can be employed as a thermally reversible means of hydrogen storage. By contrast, NaBH4 is a typical non-reversible complex metal hydride; it reacts with water to produce hydrogen.

AbstractAt the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), a research program is underway for developing a high-density hydrogen storage system based on amine-borane (AB) complexes. Due to their high hydrogen capacity, these hydrides have been employed, in the past, as disposable hydrogen sources for fuel cell applications. However, to meet the requirements for hydrogen storage onboard vehicles, it is essential that cost effective and energy efficient methods for the regeneration (i.e. hydrogenation) of the spent (dehydrogenated) AB complexes can be found that utilize only hydrogen and/or electricity (i.e. the only plausible hydrogen economy energy carriers).We are studying two ammoniaborane (NH3BH3)-based systems with high hydrogen storage capacity. The first system employs a borazine-cyclotriborazane cycle. Borazine is a product of NH3BH3 thermolysis. Cyclotriborazane is the inorganic analog of cyclohexane. The second system employs polymeric AB complexes such as poly-(aminoborane) and polyborazylene. Poly-(aminoborane), an inorganic analog of polyethylene, is also a product of amoniaborane thermolysis whilepolyborazylene is the product of borazine thermolysis.For the two systems above, we are developing regeneration (i.e. reduction of borazine, poly-(aminoborane) and polyborazylene) schemes based on: 1) catalytic hydrogenation and 2) indirect (multi-step) synthesis techniques.

Two kinds of novel materials, Mg-1.6mol%Ni-0.4mol%NiO-2mol%MF (MF=NbF5, CrF3), along with Mg-1.6mol%Ni-0.4mol%NiO for comparison, were examined for their potential use in hydrogen storage applications, having been fabricated via cryomilling. The effects of NbF5 and CrF3 on hydrogen storage performance were investigated. A microstructure analysis showed that, aside from the main phase Mg, Ni and NiO phases, NbO, MgF2 and Mg2Ni were present in all samples after ball milling, MgH2 and NbH2 were observed in all samples after absorption. The CrF3-containing composite exhibited a good PCT results and a low onset desorption temperature under 0.1 MPa. The NbF5-containing composite exhibited a low absorption temperature of 323 K, a high hydrogen storage capacity of 4.03wt% at 373 K under the hydrogen pressure of 4.0 MPa, and it absorbed 90% of its full hydrogen capacity in 2700 sec and 100% in 5100 sec, it desorbed more than 1.8wt% in 3600 sec under vacuum environment. The CrF3-doped sample exhibited a low onset desorption temperature of 543 K under 0.1 MPa, and a low hysteresis coefficient of 0.25 at 573 K, and lower than 0.2 when temperature was 623 K. NbO and NbH2 played an important role in improving the absorption and desorption performance.
