车载储氢是推进氢燃料车规模化商业应用的“瓶颈”环节,开发高性能车载储氢材料/技术成为当前能源及材料领域关注的热点。近年来,随着储氢材料领域的不断拓展,以硼氢化锂(LiBH4)为典型代表的高储量配位金属氢化物日渐成为新兴的储氢材料研究热点。本文从体系成分/反应路径调整、纳米结构调制、阴/阳离子替代及催化体系构建等方面概述了改善LiBH4综合储/放氢性能的最新研究进展,旨在明确配位硼氢化物储氢材料研究中的关键问题及可能的解决途径。
On-board hydrogen storage is generally recognized as the " bottleneck " in promoting the commercialization of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Development of high-performance hydrogen storage materials/ technologies for on-board applications is therefore attracting intensive interest of the researchers from both energy and material fields. Recently, lithium borohydride (LiBH4) and other related complex metal hydrides have attracted ever- increasing attention as potential high-capacity hydrogen storage media. The paper reviews the latest progresses made in improving the reversible dehydrogenation of LiBH4 by using various methods, including material composition/reaction pathway tailoring, nanoporous scaffolds incorporation, anion/cation substitution, and catalyst doping. Our aim is to provide an outline of the key scientific issues and the potential solutions in developing borohydride-based hydrogen storage systems.
