Researchers Improve Performance of Ammonia Borane as Hydrogen Storage Material

Green Car Congress

However, dehydrogenation—releasing the hydrogen—from AB usually required temperatures of more than 100 °C, making it too hot for polymer-based fuel cells. Ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 ) has been of interest as a hydrogen storage material for a number of years because of its high hydrogen content (19.6 Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
