SYNTHESIS AND HYDROGEN STORAGE PROPERTIES OF NOVEL METAL HYDRIDES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to improved processes for the preparation of metal hydrides. The present disclosure also relates to metal hydrides, e.g., metal hydrides prepared by the processes described herein, that exhibit enhanced hydrogen storage capacity when used as hydrogen storage systems.

主权项

1. A process for preparing a metal hydride comprising
(i) heating an alkyl or aryl transition metal compound, or a combination thereof, in a solvent in the absence of hydrogen to form a precipitate; (ii) optionally isolating the precipitate; (iii) hydrogenating the precipitate; and (iv) optionally isolating the hydrogenated precipitate.
