Description
The hydrogen storage performance of a reactive hydride composite, Mg(NH$_2$)$_2$ + 2LiH, can be significantly improved by the addition of Li(BH$_4$) and the subsequent formation of an amide–borohydride compound Li$_4$(BH$_4$)(NH$_2$)$_3$ during hydrogen release. This improvement has been attributed to the enhanced hydrogen mobility in the latter compound, due to which the reaction becomes diffusion-controlled. We studied the hydrogen mobility in this system by neutron scattering.
