Blending materials composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon to transform approaches to liquid hydrogen stores.

Mixtures of hydrogen storage materials containing the elements of boron, nitrogen, carbon, i.e., isomers of BN cyclopentanes are examined to find a 'fuel blend' that remains a liquid phase throughout hydrogen release, maximizes hydrogen storage density, minimizes impurities and remains thermally stable at ambient temperatures.

Bis-BN cyclohexane: a remarkably kinetically stable chemical hydrogen storage material.

A critical component for the successful development of fuel cell applications is hydrogen storage. For back-up power applications, where long storage periods under extreme temperatures are expected, the thermal stability of the storage material is particularly important. Here, we describe the development of an unusually kinetically stable chemical hydrogen storage material with a H2 storage capacity of 4.
