Regenerating boron hydrides for reversible chemical hydrogen storage
Hydrogen has a high mass energy density of 120 MJ/kg, almost three times that of hydrocarbons. This characteristic makes hydrogen an excellent energy storage medium, particularly in the context of an energy transition based on low-carbon energies such as renewable energies. However, hydrogen has a low volumetric energy density, and needs to be concentrated in…
