  4. New form of compound stimulates research on hydrogen storage
    12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Research on hydrogen-fueled cars may be one step closer to application thanks to a new form of hydride discovered by scientists at the ESRF. The material, lithium borohydride, is a promising energy storage system: it contains 18 weight percents of hydrogen, which makes it attractive for use in hydrogen-fueled cars. Its drawback is that it only releases hydrogen at temperatures above 300C. The team has found a new form of the compound that could possibly release hydrogen in mild conditions.
