NaBH4 in solidified aluminosilicate gel: a new hydrogen storage with interesting properties

Buhl J.-Ch., Schomborg L., Rüscher C.H., Leibniz University Hannover, DE

A new type of safe storage of NaBH4 of high fuel density providing an easy release of hydrogen is presented. NaBH4 exhibits a high gravimetric storage capacity (2.4 l H2/g). However, rapid hydrolysis reaction already [...]

Synthesis of nanocrystalline nitrate enclathrated zeolite with intermediate framework structure between sodalite (SOD) and cancrinite (CAN)

Buhl J.-Ch., Cramm S., Leibniz University Hannover, DE

Synthesis of nitrate enclathrated nanocrystalline aluminosilicate zeolite was performed in the system Na2O-SiO2-Al2O3-H20-NaNO3-(TEA) under superalkaline low temperature conditions at 333 K. Formation of nanoparticles occurred already after 3 hours with sizes not exceeding 50 nm [...]

Nanocrystalline NaBH4-enclathrated zeolite SOD: a model for the improvement of safeness and reactivity of boron hydride based hydrogen storage systems

Buhl J.-Ch., Rüscher C.H., Schomborg L., Stemme F., Leibniz University Hannover, DE

Boron hydride is an interesting material for hydrogen storage but to become widely accepted in techniques, several problems like the high reactivity of NaBH4 under atmospheric conditions have to be solved. The latter offers a [...]
