Investigation of Solid-State Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia Borane Mix with Sulphonated Poly(ellagic Acid) for Hydrogen Release. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:3471. [PMID: 39771323 PMCID: PMC11728564 DOI: 10.3390/polym16243471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2024] [Revised: 12/06/2024] [Accepted: 12/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2025] Open
Abstract
The utilization of hydrogen in safety conditions is crucial for the development of a hydrogen-based economy. Among all methodologies, solid-state hydrogen release from ammonia borane through thermal stimuli is very promising due to the high theoretical hydrogen release. Generally, carbonaceous or inorganic matrices have been used to tune the reactivity of ammonia borane. Nevertheless, these solutions lack chemical tunability, and they do not allow one to properly tune the complex chemical pathway of hydrogen release from ammonia borane. In this study, we investigated the effect of a bioderived multifunctional polymeric matrix on hydrogen release from ammonia borane, reaching pure hydrogen release of 1.2 wt.% at 94 °C. We also describe new chemical pathways involving the formation of anchored intermediates, namely BxNy species.

Abstract
Efficient catalysis of ammonia borane (AB) holds potential for realizing controlled energy release from hydrogen fuel and addressing cost challenges faced by hydrogen storage. Here, we report that amorphous domains on metallic Fe crystal structures (R-Fe2O3 Foam) can achieve AB catalytic performances and stability (turnover frequency (TOF) of 113.6 min-1, about 771 L H2 in 900 h, and 43.27 mL/(min·cm2) for 10×10 cm2 of Foam) that outperform reported benchmarks (most <14 L H2 in 45 h) by at least 20 times. These notable increases are enabled by the stable Fe crystal structure, while defects and unsaturated atoms in the amorphous domains form Fe-B intermediates that significantly lower the dissociation barriers of H2O and AB. Given that the catalyst lifetime is a key determinant for the practical use in fuel cells, our R-Fe2O3 Foam also provides decent H2 supply (180 mL H2/min, AB water solution of 7.5 wt% H2) in a driven commercial car fuel cell at stable power outputs (7.8 V and 1.6 A for at least 5 h). When considered with its facile synthesis method, these materials are potentially very promising for realizing durable high-performance AB catalysts and viable chemical storage in hydrogen powered vehicles.

Abstract
We present here the synthesis and performance of dual-atom catalysts (DACs), analogous to well-known single-atom catalysts (SACs). DACs feature sites containing pairs of metal atoms and can outperform SACs due to their additional binding possibilities. Yet quantifying the improved catalytic activity in terms of proximity effects remains difficult, as it requires both high-resolution kinetic data and an understanding of the reaction pathways. Here, we use an automated bubble counter setup for comparing the catalytic performance of ceria-supported platinum SACs and DACs in ammonia borane hydrolysis. The catalysts were synthesized by wet impregnation and characterized using SEM, HAADF-STEM, XRD, XPS, and CO-DRIFTS. High-precision kinetic studies of ammonia borane hydrolysis in the presence of SACs show two temperature-dependent regions, with a transition point at 43 °C. Conversely, the DACs show only one regime. We show that this is because DACs preorganize both ammonia borane and water at the dual-atom active site. The additional proximal Pt atom improves the reaction rate 3-fold and enables faster reactions at lower temperatures. We suggest that the DACs enable the activation of the water-O-H bond as well as increase the hydrogen spillover effect due to the adjacent Pt site. Interestingly, using ammonia borane hydrolysis as a benchmark reaction gives further insight into hydrogen spillover mechanisms, above what is known from the CO oxidation studies.

Abstract
While paper-based lateral-flow immunoassays (LFA) offer considerable promise for centralized diagnostic applications, the analytical capability of conventional LFA remains constrained due to the low sensitivity of its common optical detection strategy. To address these issues, we report a simple electrochemical LFA (eLFA) with nanocatalytic redox cycling for decentralized insulin detection. Simultaneous binding of insulin with detection antibodies and capture antibodies through the capillary flow at the LFA platform and signal amplification through the rapid nanocatalytic reduction of [Fe(CN)6]3- (Fe3+) with Au nanoparticles (AuNP) and ammonia-borane (AB), coupled to electrochemical redox cycling reactions involving Fe3+, AuNP, and AB on the carbon working electrode, offer higher sensitivity than conventional colorimetric LFA and enzymatic redox cycling. The resulting integrated eLFA strip allows the detection of low insulin concentrations (LOD = 12 pM) and offers considerable promise for highly sensitive decentralized assays of different biological fluids (saliva and serum) without additional pretreatment or washing steps.

Turk J Chem 2023; 47:1224-1238. [PMID: 38173757 PMCID: PMC10762867 DOI: 10.55730/1300-0527.3607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Reducible WO3 powder with a mean diameter of 100 nm is used as support to stabilize ruthenium(0) nanoparticles. Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles are obtained by NaBH4 reduction of ruthenium(III) precursor on the surface of WO3 support at room temperature. Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of tungsten(VI) oxide. The obtained Ru0/WO3 nanoparticles are found to be active catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. The turnover frequency (TOF) values of the Ru0/WO3 nanocatalysts with the metal loading of 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0% wt. Ru are 122, 106, and 83 min-1, respectively, in releasing hydrogen gas from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25.0 °C. As the Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst with an average particle size of 2.6 nm provides the highest activity among them, it is extensively investigated. Although the Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst is not magnetically separable, it has extremely high reusability in the hydrolysis reaction as it preserves 100% of initial catalytic activity even after the 5th run of hydrolysis. The high activity and reusability of Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst are attributed to the favorable metal-support interaction between the ruthenium(0) nanoparticles and the reducible tungsten(VI) oxide. The high catalytic activity and high stability of Ru0/WO3 nanoparticles increase the catalytic efficiency of precious ruthenium in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.

Abstract
Biomolecule-conjugated metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been primarily used as colorimetric labels in affinity-based bioassays for point-of-care testing. A facile electrochemical detection scheme using a rapid nanocatalytic reaction of a metal NP label is required to achieve more quantitative and sensitive point-of-care testing. Moreover, all the involved components should be stable in their dried form and solution. This study developed a stable component set that allows for rapid and simple nanocatalytic reactions combined with electrochemical detection and applied it for the sensitive detection of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The component set consists of an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode, ferrocenemethanol (FcMeOH), antibody-conjugated Au NPs, and ammonia borane (AB). Despite being a strong reducing agent, AB is selected because it is stable in its dried form and solution. The slow direct reaction between FcMeOH+ and AB provides a low electrochemical background, and the rapid nanocatalytic reaction allows for a high electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, PTH could be quantified in a wide range of concentrations in artificial serum, with a detection limit of ~0.5 pg/mL. Clinical validation of the developed PTH immunosensor using real serum samples indicates that this novel electrochemical detection scheme is promising for quantitative and sensitive immunoassays for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Attempts of the synthesis of ionic (NH4)(BH3NH2BH2NH2BH3) via a metathetical approach resulted in a mixture of the target compound and partly dehydrogenated molecular NH3BH2NH2BH2NH2BH3 product. The mixed specimen was characterised by NMR and vibrational spectroscopies, and the cocrystal structure was analyzed from powder X-ray diffraction data supported by theoretical density functional theory calculations. The compound crystallises in a P21/c unit cell with the lattice parameters of a = 13.401(11) Å, b = 13.196(8) Å, c = 17.828(12) Å, β = 128.83(4)°, V = 2556(3) Å3 and Z = 16. Despite their impressive hydrogen content, similar to ammonia borane, both title compounds release hydrogen substantially polluted with borazine and traces of ammonia and diborane.

Abstract
Porous borocarbonitrides (denoted BCN) were prepared through pyrolysis of the polymer stemmed from dehydrocoupled ethane 1,2-diamineborane (BH3NH2CH2CH2NH2BH3, EDAB) in the presence of F-127. These materials contain interconnected pores in the nanometer range with a high specific surface area up to 511 m2 · g-1. Gas adsorption of CO2 demonstrated an interesting uptake (3.23 mmol · g-1 at 0 °C), a high CO2/N2 selectivity as well as a significant recyclability after several adsorption-desorption cycles. For comparison's sake, a synthesized non-porous BCN as well as a commercial BN sample were studied to investigate the role of porosity and carbon doping factors in CO2 capture. The present work thus tends to demonstrate that the two-step synthesis of microporous BCN adsorbent materials from EDAB using a bottom-up approach (dehydrocoupling followed by pyrolysis at 1100 °C) is relatively simple and interesting.

Abstract
Alginate hydrogel beads were loaded with bimetallic NiPt nanoparticles by in situ reduction of the respective polymer matrix containing precursor metallic ions using a NaBH4 aqueous solution. The alginate hydrogel beads loaded with NiPt nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, AAS, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, and oscillatory rheometry. The prepared hybrid hydrogels were proven to be effective as catalytic materials for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) for quantitative hydrogen generation using catalytic loadings of 0.1 mol%. In addition, the reaction mechanism of the hydrolytic reaction using NiPt loaded alginate hydrogel beads was determined by Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The experimental results showed that the reaction mechanism consisted of an initial fast adsorption of reactants at the surface of the nanoparticles, followed by a rate-limiting surface reaction. The NiPt nanoalloys exhibited an enhanced behavior for hydrogen generation with a maximum TOF of 84.1 min-1, almost 71 % higher compared to monometallic platinum atoms, and likely related to a synergistic interaction between both metals. Finally, the hydrogel matrix enabled the material to be easily recovered from the reaction medium and reused in further catalytic cycles without desorption of active nanoparticles from the material.

Abstract
The one-pot synthesis process has emerged as an economical synthesis method without the involvement of purification or formation of intermediate compounds. Therefore, nickel nanoparticles were selectively synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate and borane-ammonia complex as a precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The morphology and crystal growth were observed by controlling the precursor concentration ratio of Ni:AB from 1:0.1 to 1:4 under various temperatures ranging from 80 to 140 degrees. In addition, we observed that the crystal growth rate under the influence of NaCl and KCl resulted in spherical Ni particles with size distributions controlled in the range of 297.65 nm to 1082.15 nm and 358.6 nm to 605 nm, respectively.

Abstract
Hydrides have emerged as strong candidates for energy storage applications and their study has attracted wide interest in both the academic and industry sectors. With clear advantages due to the solid-state storage of hydrogen, hydrides and in particular complex hydrides have the ability to tackle environmental pollution by offering the alternative of a clean energy source: hydrogen. However, several drawbacks have detracted this material from going mainstream, and some of these shortcomings have been addressed by nanostructuring/nanoconfinement strategies. With the enhancement of thermodynamic and/or kinetic behavior, nanosized complex hydrides (borohydrides and alanates) have recently conquered new estate in the hydrogen storage field. The current review aims to present the most recent results, many of which illustrate the feasibility of using complex hydrides for the generation of molecular hydrogen in conditions suitable for vehicular and stationary applications. Nanostructuring strategies, either in the pristine or nanoconfined state, coupled with a proper catalyst and the choice of host material can potentially yield a robust nanocomposite to reliably produce H2 in a reversible manner. The key element to tackle for current and future research efforts remains the reproducible means to store H2, which will build up towards a viable hydrogen economy goal. The most recent trends and future prospects will be presented herein.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (H3BNH3) is a promising material for hydrogen storage and release. Dehydrogenation of ammonia borane produces small boron-nitrogen hydrides such as aminoborane (H2BNH2) and iminoborane (HBNH). The present study investigates ammonia borane and its two dehydrogenated products for the first time using calculated photoemission spectra of the valence and core electrons. It is found that a significant decrease in the dipole moment was observed associated with the dehydration from 5.397 D in H3BNH3, to 1.942 D in H2BNH2, and to 0.083 D in HBNH. Such reduction in the dipole moment impacts properties such as hydrogen bonding, dihydrogen bonding, and their spectra. Dehydrogenation of H3BNH3 impacts both the valence and core electronic structure of the boron-nitrogen hydrides. The calculated valence vertical ionization energy (VIE) spectra of the boron-nitrogen hydrides show that valence orbitals dominated by 2p-electrons of B and N atoms exhibit large changes, whereas orbitals dominated by s-electrons, such as (3a14a15a1/3σ4σ5σ) remain less affected. The first ionization energy slightly increases from 10.57 eV for H3BNH3 to 11.29 eV for both unsaturated H2BNH2 and HBNH. In core space, the oxidative dehydrogenation of H3BNH3 affects the core electron binding energy (CEBE) of borane and nitrogen oppositely. The B1s binding energies increase from 194.01 eV in H3BNH3 to 196.93 eV in HBNH, up by 2.92 eV, whereas the N1s binding energies decrease from 408.20 eV in H3BNH3 to 404.88 eV in HBNH, dropped by 3.32 eV.

Abstract
Turbostratic layers in 2D materials have an interlayer misalignment. The lack of alignment expands the intrinsic interlayer distances and weakens the optical and electronic interactions between adjacent layers. This introduces properties distinct from those structures with well-aligned lattices and strong coupling interactions. However, direct and rapid synthesis of turbostratic materials remains a challenge owing to their thermodynamically metastable properties. Here, a flash Joule heating (FJH) method to achieve bulk synthesis of boron-carbon-nitrogen ternary compounds with turbostratic structures by a kinetically controlled ultrafast cooling process that takes place within milliseconds (103 to 104 K s-1 ) is reported. Theoretical calculations support the existence of turbostratic structures and provide estimates of the energy barriers with respect to conversion into the corresponding well-aligned counterparts. When using non-carbon conductive additives, a direct synthesis of boron nitride is possible. The turbostratic nature facilitates mechanical exfoliation and more stable dispersions. Accordingly, the addition of flash products to a poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite film coating a copper surface greatly improves the copper's resistance to corrosion in 0.5 m sulfuric acid or 3.5 wt% saline solution. FJH allows the use of bulk materials as reactants and provides a rapid approach to large quantities of the hitherto hard-to-access turbostratic materials.

Abstract
We have investigated the photoionization of ammonia borane (AB) and determined adiabatic ionization energy to be 9.26±0.03 eV for the X+ 2 E←X 1 A1 transition. Although the threshold photoelectron spectrum appears at first glance to be similar to the one of the isosteric ethane, the electronic situation differs markedly, due to different orbital energies. In addition, an appearance energy AE0K (NH3 BH3 , NH3 BH2 + )= 10.00±0.03 eV has been determined, corresponding to the loss of a hydrogen atom at the BH3 -site. From the data, a 0 K bond dissociation energy for the B-H bond in the cation of 71.5±3 kJ mol-1 was derived, whereas the one in the neutral compound has been estimated to be 419±10 kJ mol-1 .

Abstract
Hydrogen is the ultimate vector for a carbon-free, sustainable green-energy. While being the most promising candidate to serve this purpose, hydrogen inherits a series of characteristics making it particularly difficult to handle, store, transport and use in a safe manner. The researchers' attention has thus shifted to storing hydrogen in its more manageable forms: the light metal hydrides and related derivatives (ammonia-borane, tetrahydridoborates/borohydrides, tetrahydridoaluminates/alanates or reactive hydride composites). Even then, the thermodynamic and kinetic behavior faces either too high energy barriers or sluggish kinetics (or both), and an efficient tool to overcome these issues is through nanoconfinement. Nanoconfined energy storage materials are the current state-of-the-art approach regarding hydrogen storage field, and the current review aims to summarize the most recent progress in this intriguing field. The latest reviews concerning H2 production and storage are discussed, and the shift from bulk to nanomaterials is described in the context of physical and chemical aspects of nanoconfinement effects in the obtained nanocomposites. The types of hosts used for hydrogen materials are divided in classes of substances, the mean of hydride inclusion in said hosts and the classes of hydrogen storage materials are presented with their most recent trends and future prospects.

Abstract
Ammonia has emerged as a potential working fluid in adsorption heat pumps (AHPs) for clean energy conversion. It would be necessary to develop an efficient adsorbent with high-density ammonia uptake under high gas pressures in the low-temperature range for waste heat. Herein, a porous nanocomposite with MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 (MIL-A) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was developed to enhance the ammonia adsorption capacity over high ammonia pressures (3-5 bar) and low working temperatures (20-40 °C). A one-pot hydrothermal reaction could form a two-dimensional sheet-like nanocomposite where MIL-A nanoparticles were well deposited on the surface of rGO. The MIL-A nanoparticles were shown to grow on the rGO surface through chemical bonding between chromium metal centers in MIL-A and oxygen species in rGO. We demonstrated that the nanocomposite with 2% GO showed higher ammonia uptake capacity at 5 bar compared with pure MIL-A and rGO. Our strategy to incorporate rGO with MIL-A nanoparticles would further be generalizable to other metal-organic frameworks for improving the ammonia adsorption capacity in AHPs.

Abstract
We report the mass-selected threshold photoelectron spectrum (ms-TPES) of iminoborane (HBNH), generated by pyrolysis of borazine. The adiabatic ionization energy (IE) of the X+ 2Π ← X 1Σ+ transition was determined to be 11.31 ± 0.02 eV and the wavenumber of the B-N stretching vibration in the cation was measured to be 1550 cm-1. The Renner-Teller splitting in the X+ 2Π state gives rise to two sets of vibrational progressions, separated by 70 meV.

Abstract
Boron-based materials have been widely studied for hydrogen storage applications. Examples of these compounds are borohydrides and boranes. However, all of these present some disadvantages that have hindered their potential application as hydrogen storage materials in the solid-state. Thus, different strategies have been developed to improve the dehydrogenation properties of these materials. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of recent advances (for the period 2015–2021) in the destabilization strategies that have been considered for selected boron-based compounds. With this aim, we selected seven of the most investigated boron-based compounds for hydrogen storage applications: lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, magnesium borohydride, calcium borohydride, ammonia borane, hydrazine borane and hydrazine bisborane. The destabilization strategies include the use of additives, the chemical modification and the nanosizing of these compounds. These approaches were analyzed for each one of the selected boron-based compounds and these are discussed in the present review.

Abstract
The paper presents a comparative study of the activity of magnetite (Fe3O4) and copper and cobalt ferrites with the structure of a cubic spinel synthesized by combustion of glycine-nitrate precursors in the reactions of ammonia borane (NH3BH3) hydrolysis and hydrothermolysis. It was shown that the use of copper ferrite in the studied reactions of NH3BH3 dehydrogenation has the advantages of a high catalytic activity and the absence of an induction period in the H2 generation curve due to the activating action of copper on the reduction of iron. Two methods have been proposed to improve catalytic activity of Fe3O4-based systems: (1) replacement of a portion of Fe2+ cations in the spinel by active cations including Cu2+ and (2) preparation of highly dispersed multiphase oxide systems, involving oxide of copper.

Abstract
High-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell were used to study the insertion of the chemical hydrogen storage material, ammonia borane, in the one-dimensional pores of the zeolite theta-1 TON. Heating of this material up to 300 °C under pressures up to 5 GPa resulted in the release of a significant amount of hydrogen due to the conversion of ammonia borane confined in the channels of TON and outside the zeolite to polyaminoborane and then polyiminoborane chains. The filling of TON with hydrogen resulted in a much greater increase in unit cell volume than that corresponding to thermal expansion of normal compact inorganic solids. This process at high temperature is accompanied by a phase transition from the collapsed high-pressure Pbn21 form to the more symmetric Cmc21 phase with expanded pores. This material has a high capacity for hydrogen adsorption under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions.

Abstract
Chemical hydrogen storage stands as a promising option to conventional storage methods. There are numerous hydrogen carrier molecules that afford satisfactory hydrogen capacity. Among them, ammonia borane has attracted great interest due to its high hydrogen capacity. Great efforts have been devoted to design and develop suitable catalysts to boost the production of hydrogen from ammonia borane, which is preferably attained by Ru catalysts. The present review summarizes some of the recent Ru-based heterogeneous catalysts applied in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane, paying particular attention to those supported on carbon materials and oxides.

Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26061722.

Abstract
We present the research findings of the DOE-funded Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center of Excellence (HSECoE) related to liquid-phase and slurry-phase chemical hydrogen storage media and their potential as future hydrogen storage media for automotive applications. Chemical hydrogen storage media other than neat liquid compositions will prove difficult to meet the DOE system level targets. Solid- and slurry-phase chemical hydrogen storage media requiring off-board regeneration are impractical and highly unlikely to be implemented for automotive applications because of the formidable task of developing solid- or slurry-phase transport systems that are commercially reliable and economical throughout the entire life cycle of the fuel. Additionally, the regeneration cost and efficiency of chemical hydrogen storage media is currently the single most prohibitive barrier to implementing chemical hydrogen storage media. Ideally, neat liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage media with net-usable gravimetric hydrogen capacities of greater than 7.8 wt% are projected to meet the 2017 DOE system level gravimetric and volumetric targets. The research presented herein is a collection of research findings that do not in and of themselves warrant a dedicated manuscript. However, the collection of results do, in fact, highlight the engineering challenges and short-comings in scaling up and demonstrating fluid-phase ammonia borane and alane compositions that all future materials researchers working in hydrogen storage should be aware of.

Recent Advances in Applications of Co-B Catalysts in NaBH4-Based Portable Hydrogen Generators. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
This review highlights the opportunities of catalytic hydrolysis of NaBH4 with the use of inexpensive and active Co-B catalysts among the other systems of hydrogen storage and generation based on water reactive materials. This process is important for the creation of H2 generators required for the operation of portable compact power devices based on low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (LT PEM FC). Special attention is paid to the influence of the reaction medium on the formation of active state of Co-B catalysts and the problem of their deactivation in NaBH4 solution stabilized by alkali. The novelty of this review consists in the discussion of basic designs of hydrogen generators based on NaBH4 hydrolysis using cobalt catalysts and the challenges of their integration with LT PEM FC. The potential of using batch reactors in which there is no need to use aggressive alkaline NaBH4 solutions is discussed. Solid-phase compositions or pellets based on NaBH4 and cobalt-containing catalytic additives are proposed, the hydrogen generation from which starts immediately after the addition of water. The review made it possible to formulate the most acute problems, which require new sci-tech solutions.

Abstract
Hydrogen energy, with environment amicable, renewable, efficiency, and cost-effective advantages, is the future mainstream substitution of fossil-based fuel. However, the extremely low volumetric density gives rise to the main challenge in hydrogen storage, and therefore, exploring effective storage techniques is key hurdles that need to be crossed to accomplish the sustainable hydrogen economy. Hydrogen physically or chemically stored into nanomaterials in the solid-state is a desirable prospect for effective large-scale hydrogen storage, which has exhibited great potentials for applications in both reversible onboard storage and regenerable off-board storage applications. Its attractive points include safe, compact, light, reversibility, and efficiently produce sufficient pure hydrogen fuel under the mild condition. This review comprehensively gathers the state-of-art solid-state hydrogen storage technologies using nanostructured materials, involving nanoporous carbon materials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, nanoporous organic polymers, and nanoscale hydrides. It describes significant advances achieved so far, and main barriers need to be surmounted to approach practical applications, as well as offers a perspective for sustainable energy research.

Abstract
A general approach for the synthesis of covalent and ionic amine borane complexes containing trinitromethyl fragments has been developed through metathesis reactions between amine chloroborane complexes and potassium salt of trinitromethyl (K[C(NO2)3]). Five covalent and ionic trinitromethyl amine borane complexes have been synthesized in good yields with high purity and it is found that the ionic complex, [H2B(NH3)2][C(NO2)3], might be a promising energetic material on the basis of the investigation of its thermal decomposition behaviour. A general approach has been developed through which five covalent and ionic amine borane complexes containing trinitromethyl fragments were synthesized.![]()

Abstract
“One-pot regeneration”, which is simple regneneration method of ammonia borane (AB) using hydrazine and liquid ammonia, enables conversion of AB from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) after milling hydrogenation. Solution 11B-NMR revealed the presence of AB after NH3/N2H4 treatment of milled h-BN (BNHx) although the yield of AB was less than 5%. The conversion mechanism was clarified as B-H bonds on the h-BN surface created by ball-milling under hydrogen pressure have an ability to form AB, which was confirmed by Thermogravimetry-Residual Gas Analysis (TG-RGA) and Infrared (IR) analysis. The reaction routes are also the same as regeneration route of polyborazylene because intermediates of AB such as (B(NH2)3 and hydrazine borane were found by solution 11B-NMR after soaking BNHx in liquid NH3 and hydrazine, respectively. Because of the fact that all reactions proceed on the h-BN surface and no reaction proceeds when neat h-BN is treated, breaking of B3N3 ring structure and then creation of B-H bond is the key issue to increase conversion yield of AB.
