✦ Synopsis

An advanced hydrogen storage material, with potential for on-board application, is readily prepared by mechanically milling a 1:1 ammonia borane/lithium hydride (AB/LiH) mixture. The material possesses a H capacity of around 10 wt %, higher than the 2015 DOE gravimetric H capacity target, and can rapidly release over 7 wt % pure H2 at around 100 °C.
