METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ALANE INCLUDING DESOLVATION OF AN ALANE -ETHERATE COMPLEX

摘要

The invention relates to methods of preparing α-alane by desolvating an alane-etherate complex. The methods include electrospraying or electrospinning the alane-etherate complex in order to remove solvent. Solid alane is obtained and can be in either fine particulate form or fiber form. The alane can be encapsulated with a stabilizing agent.

1. A method of producing α-alane comprising:
preparing an alane-etherate solution comprising an alane-etherate in a solvent; desolvating the alane-etherate solution; forming droplets of the solution by applying a voltage to the solution, in an inert atmosphere, and electrospraying the solution; and, collecting the α-alane.
