Destabilisation of Ca(BH4)2 and Mg(BH4)2via confinement in nanoporous Cu2S hollow spheres
Abstract
Complex borohydrides of calcium (Ca(BH4)2) and magnesium (Mg(BH4)2) have the potential to store significant amounts of hydrogen. However, the temperature for hydrogen release is high >300 °C and reversibility difficult to achieve. Nanoconfinement of these hydrides in Cu2S hollow spheres provides an effective approach to achieve a low temperature for hydrogen release with some partial reversibility.
