Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is disclosed for storing and releasing hydrogen from a mass of transition metal borohydride particles, or a mass of mixed, transition metal and alkali metal-containing, borohydride particles where hydrogen is to be released by heating the mass of particles upon a demand for hydrogen in a hydrogen-using application. Particles of a metal hydride are mixed with the metal borohydride particles to form a mass of hydrogen storage particles. The composition and amount of the metal hydride mixed into the hydrogen storage particles serves to react with boron from the borohydride particles to form a metal boride and to suppress release of diborane as hydrogen is released from the heated metal borohydride particles.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for storing and releasing hydrogen from a mass of particles of a mixed transition metal and alkali metal borohydride compound, where hydrogen is to be released from the mass of boron-containing particles upon a demand for hydrogen in a hydrogen-using application, the mixed transition metal-alkali metal borohydride compound tending to release diborane as it releases hydrogen; the method comprising: mixing particles of a metal hydride with the m…
