| Abstract Scope |
Complex metal hydrides (MxEyHz) are promising candidates for reversible hydrogen storage and represent an important class of compounds in the effort to expand hydrogen driven technology. Extensive research has been conducted in the synthesis and characterization of these materials but there is a lack of thermodynamic data which makes it difficult to assess their stability, which is crucial for successful industrial applications.
This talk presents recent work on characterization and thermal analysis of metal boranates to determine decomposition reactions and stability conditions to measure thermodynamic properties. Results from density functional theory calculations, as well as correlation and estimation procedures, will be presented to provide a deeper understanding of the physical and chemical properties of these hydrides [1,7,8]. Thermodynamic tuning and uses of thermodynamic data in this context will also be discussed. |
