Application

Li-based complex hydrides; Li alanates are promising materials for hydrogen storage owing to their high H content and interesting desorption kinetic properties at moderate temps. Li₃AlH₆ is formed as an intermediate species during the decomposition of LiAlH₄. Metal hydrides that can store high volumes of hydrogen at ambient conditions which can be released during combustion show promising applications in fuel cell propulsion systems.
