ObjectivesObjectives•Hypothesis: Nano phase hydrogen storage materials will have different thermodynamic and kinetic properties compared to bulk hydrogen storage materials.
•Nano particles of Hydrogen Storage material
–Control Reactivity (enhanced rate of H2 release)–Control Selectivity (prevent Borazine formation)–Can we prevent fusion of the nanoparticles as the reaction proceeds? (Don’t want to lose nanoproperties)
In experiments where hydrogen is released, large quantities of inert gas are used to avoid any build up in concentration of hydrogen.
Materials are treated with dilute acid at conclusion of experiments to destroy any residual hydrogen.

SummarySummarySummary
Control of selectivity of H2 release from ABSBA-15 appears to guide NH3BH3 towards linear polymer formation.No borazine seen in volatile products or left behind in scaffold.No cyclized products observed in NMR and DSC data show process is less exothermic
Control of reactivity for H2 release from AB1-2 orders of magnitude faster!

Vary pore diameter 60-300 nm Coat nano particles (in vs. out)
Thin films (curvature) Cover Si-OH (alkane)
More detailed kinetic studies
Future Efforts
Surface interactions? Radius of curvature?
