Abstract

Hydrogen storage for transportation applications requires high volumetric and gravimetric storage capacity. B-N compounds are well suited as storage materials due to their light weight and propensity for bearing multiple protic (N-H) and hydridic (B-H) hydrogens. This critical review briefly covers the various methods of hydrogen storage, and then concentrates on chemical hydrogen storage using B-N compounds. The simplest B-N compound, ammonia borane (H3NBH3), which has a potential 19.6 wt% hydrogen storage capacity, will be emphasised (127 references).
