Destabilization of LiBH4 by nanoconfinement in PMMA–co–BM polymer matrix for reversible hydrogen storage

Confined LiBH4–LiAlH4 in nanopores of activated carbon nanofibers

“…Milled LiBH 4 eLiAlH 4 shows vibrational peaks of BeH stretching and bending of LiBH 4 at 2388e2222 and 1128 cm À1 , respectively, together with a characteristic peak of OeH bond at 1640 cm À1 due to air and/or moisture contamination ( Fig. 1(b)) [25]. Regarding nanoconfined sample, after solution impregnation and drying at room temperature in the glove box for 7 days, Fig.…”

“…Dehydrogenation kinetics and reversibility of milled LiBH 4 eLiAlH 4 and nano LiBH 4 eLiAlH 4 eACNF were studied by using a laboratory scale setup of a carefully calibrated Sieverttype apparatus [24,25]. The powder sample of~30e50 mg was packed in a high pressure stainless steel sample holder (316SS, Swagelok) under Ar atmosphere in the glove box, and transferred to the Sievert-type apparatus.…”

“…LiBH 4 nanoconfined into several hosts, such as carbon aerogel scaffold [21e23], poly(methyl methacrylate) [24,25], activated carbon nanofiber [26], via both direct melt infiltration and solution impregnation have been proposed. Moreover, various RHCs of LiBH 4 with other hydrides nanoconfined into carbon aerogel scaffold (e.g., LiBH 4 eMgH 2 [27e31], LiBH 4 eNaAlH 4 [32], LiBH 4 eMg(BH 4 ) 2 [33,34], and 2LiBH 4 eLiAlH 4 [35]) have been remarkably of interest.…”

Polymer/Carbon-Based Hybrid Aerogels: Preparation, Properties and Applications

“…However, until now, solid-state hydrogen storage has suffered from difficulties such as combination of high storage capacities in light element hydrides with hydrogen release. One approach is confinement of metal hydrides in inert mesoporous scaffolds with pore sizes in the range of 2–50 nm [220,221,222,223,224]. Therefore, carbon aerogels with nano-pore sizes are the right choice.…”
