Hydrazine borane: a promising hydrogen storage material.

We describe an easy method of improving the promising hydrogen storage capabilities of hydrazine borane by adding an equimolar amount of lithium hydride. The resulting mixture contains 14.8 wt % H(2). The hydrogen release behavior of both the pure hydrazine borane and the LiH mixture was studied at various temperatures and showed excellent hydrogen release rates at a reasonable temperature range of 100-150 degrees C.
