Abstract

Complex borohydrides of calcium (Ca(BH4)2) and magnesium (Mg(BH4)2) have the potential to store significant amounts of hydrogen. However, the temperature for hydrogen release is high >300 °C and reversibility difficult to achieve. Nanoconfinement of these hydrides in Cu2S hollow spheres provides an effective approach to achieve a low temperature for hydrogen release with some partial reversibility.
