Nano-nickel Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane
Permanent URI for this collection
Ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) is a promising hydrogen
source material due to its high hydrogen content
(19.6 wt%). It is a white crystalline solid compound which
was first synthesized and characterized by Shore and Parry
[1] in the year 1955. The primary elements that make
ammonia borane are nitrogen, hydrogen and boron. The
elements nitrogen and hydrogen exist widely in the nature,
e.g., in air and water [2]. Ammonia borane is a non-volatile
material with appreciable degree of stability in air and
water under ambient conditions.
