Chemical Hydrogen Storage Using Polyhedral Borane Anions and Aluminum-Ammonia-Borane Complexes. Final Report

摘要

This project was part of the DOE Center of Excellence for chemical hydrogen storage led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The project was initiated at UCLA in 2005 and later moved to the University of Missouri in 2006 due to the transfer of the PI to Missouri. This program was divided into two phases; phase 1 was focused on development of transition metal-catalyzed hydrolysis of polyhedral borane anions, specifically nido-KB11H14, closo-KB10H10, and closo-KB12H12 to release hydrogen, while phase 2 was focused on the synthesis and dehydrogenation of aluminum amido-boranes.
