Description

The lithium borohydride incorporated within carbon scaffolds was prepared by its confinement to the nanoscale into a nanoporous carbon aerogel. The host within LiBH4 loading reached 80%. The structures and properties of the products were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), infrared absorption (IR) spectra, and so on. LiBH4 filled the micropores in carbon aerogel firstly. Then LiBH4 incorporated together with the mesopores. Dehydrogenation rates at 300 ℃ were up to 5 times faster than the reported results observed in the sample of LiBH4 mixed with nonporous graphite. (authors)
