Journal ArticleDOI
Stability and reversibility of LiBH4.
Philippe Mauron,F. Buchter,O. Friedrichs,Arndt Remhof,Michael Bielmann,Christoph N. Zwicky,Andreas Züttel +6 more
TL;DR: The stability of LiBH4 was investigated by pcT (pressure, concentration, and temperature) measurements under constant hydrogen flows and extrapolated to equilibrium by XRD (X-ray diffraction), and it was shown that the reaction can be reversed at a temperature of 600 degrees C and at a pressure of 155 bar.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ synchrotron diffraction studies of phase transitions and thermal decomposition of Mg(BH4)2 and Ca(BH4)2
M. D. Riktor,Magnus H. Sørby,K. Chłopek,Maximilian Fichtner,F. Buchter,Andreas Züttel,Bjørn C. Hauback +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of Mg(BH4)2 and Ca(bH42)2 with 14.9 and 11.6 mass% hydrogen were studied by time-resolved in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, thermal desorption spectroscopy and energy dispersive Xray spectrographs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen storage properties of Mg[BH4]2
Tomoya Matsunaga,Tomoya Matsunaga,F. Buchter,F. Buchter,P. Mauron,P. Mauron,M. Bielman,M. Bielman,Yuko Nakamori,Shin Ichi Orimo,Nobuko Ohba,Kazutoshi Miwa,Towata Shinichi,Andreas Züttel,Andreas Züttel +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the reaction of Li[BH 4 ] with MgCl 2 at elevated temperatures and found that only the second reaction step (MgH 2 ǫ→ Mg) is reversible at the condition up to 623 K at 10 MPa of hydrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of Ca(BD4)2 β-Phase from Combined Neutron and Synchrotron X-ray Powder Diffraction Data and Density Functional Calculations
F. Buchter,Z. Łodziana,Arndt Remhof,O. Friedrichs,Andreas Borgschulte,Ph. Mauron,Andreas Züttel,Denis Sheptyakov,G. Barkhordarian,R. Bormann,K. Chłopek,M. Fichtner,Magnus H. Sørby,M. Riktor,Bjørn C. Hauback,S. Orimo +15 more
TL;DR: Combined experimental and ab initio calculations have shown that the best description of the structure is with the space group P4(2)/m based on appropriate size/geometry of the (BD4)tetrahedra, the lowest calculated formation energy, and real positive vibrational energy, indicating a stable structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnesium borohydride: A new hydrogen storage material
Tomoya Matsunaga,F. Buchter,Kazutoshi Miwa,Towata Shinichi,Shin Ichi Orimo,Andreas Züttel,Andreas Züttel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage reaction was shown for the decomposition of LiBH 4 with MgCl 2 by heat treatment without using a solvent, where the product consists of LiCl and a compound of magnesium, boron and hydrogen.
