Abstract

The synthesis of NaBH₄ was studied for energy applications, e.g., as a hydrogen storage material. Na₂CO₃ was used instead of NaOH. Yields were 6-25%, with higher concentration Na₂CO₃ and greater ratio of Na₂CO₃ to B₂H₆ giving rise to higher yields. The technique of ball-milling was then employed to study the direct interaction of the gaseous diborane and the solid Lewis bases. Using this method, higher yields of NaBH₄ were achieved, from 15 to 65%. The yield was further increased by increasing B₂H₆ pressure within the reaction vessel.
