Abstract

Ca(BH(4))(2)-LiNH(2) combined system is shown to release hydrogen at much lower temperature compared to the pure Ca(BH(4))(2). The improved dehydrogenation in this system can be ascribed to a combination reaction between [BH(4)] and [NH(2)] based on the reaction mechanism of positive H and negative H.
