Description

General description

Magnesium borohydride (Mg(BH₄)₂) is a hydrogen storage material with a high gravimetric wt% of ~14.8 and a volumetric hydrogen density of 112 g/L. It has a relatively low hydrogen-release temperature and reversibility. Mg(BH₄)₂ can be used as an electrolytic material for rechargeable magnesium batteries. Its unsolvated form can be derived by solid state exchange reaction between MgCl₂ and MBH₄.
