Abstract

Liquid compositions of ammonia borane and a suitably chosen amine borane material were prepared and subjected to conditions suitable for their thermal decomposition in a closed system that resulted in hydrogen and a liquid reaction product.

Claims (12)

1. A neat liquid composition comprising ammonia borane and a suitably chosen amine-borane material such that said ammonia borane and said amine-borane material of said liquid composition each undergo thermal decomposition to form hydrogen (H 2 ), whereby a liquid reaction product is formed.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material comprises an alkylamine-borane.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material comprises n-hexylamine-borane.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material is an ionic liquid.

5. The liquid reaction product of claim 1 , wherein the suitable amine-borane material comprises methoxypropylamine-borane.

6. A neat process for forming hydrogen, comprising:

providing a liquid composition comprising ammonia borane and a suitably chosen amine-borane material such that said ammonia borane and said amine borane material of liquid composition each undergo thermal decomposition to form hydrogen, and

subjecting the liquid composition to conditions suitable for thermal decomposition of the ammonia borane and the amine-borane material the liquid composition to form hydrogen, whereby a liquid reaction product is formed.

7. The process of claim 6 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material comprises an alkylamine-borane.

8. The process of claim 6 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material comprises n-hexylamine-borane.

9. The process of claim 6 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material is an ionic liquid.

10. The process of claim 6 , wherein the suitably chosen amine-borane material comprises methoxypropylamine-borane.
