Magnesium borohydride (Cat No.:M131466) is a promising hydrogen storage material due to its high hydrogen content. It can store up to 14.9 wt% of hydrogen, making it a lightweight and compact option for hydrogen storage applications. However, its practical use is limited by its high stability, requiring elevated temperatures (>300°C) for hydrogen release. Efforts are underway to improve its hydrogen desorption kinetics and lower the operating temperatures. Despite these challenges, magnesium borohydride remains a key area of research in the quest for efficient hydrogen storage solutions.
