Abstract
A transition metal amino borohydride material includes a first row transition metal in conjunction with an amine ligand and borohydride, in a condition of having been thermally treated to a temperature of at least 70° C. and up to but not including 800° C. An exemplary such material, Fe(DETA)(BH4)2 having been heat treated at 300° C., had good hydrogen storage characteristics.
Claims9
A transition metal amino borohydride material comprising:
- a first row transition metal in conjunction with a polymeric amine ligand having at least three amine groups and borohydride, in a condition of having been thermally treated to a temperature of 70° C. or greater and less than 800° C.
A transition metal amino borohydride material comprising:
- chromium in conjunction with a polymeric amine ligand having at least three amine groups and borohydride, in a condition of having been thermally treated to a temperature of 70° C. or greater and less than 800° C.
A transition metal amino borohydride material comprising:
- a first row transition metal in conjunction with a diethylenetriamine ligand and borohydride, in a condition of having been thermally treated to a temperature of 70° C. or greater and less than 800° C., wherein the material is polymeric.
