US developed a new liquid hydrogen storage material

National chemists have recently developed a boron-nitrogen based liquid hydrogen storage material that can operate at room temperature and remain stable in air and water. This material not only can store hydrogen, but also can release hydrogen, and the hydrogen release process is environmentally friendly and controllable. This technology is expected to solve a series of problems that currently plague hydrogen energy storage difficulties and transportation difficulties.
According to the person in charge of the technology, the material is a boron hydride compound called boron nitrogen-methylcyclopentane. It uses common ferric chloride as a catalyst to release hydrogen, and can also recycle the energy used for hydrogen release. Environmentally friendly and recyclable. At the same time, the new hydrogen storage material is liquid rather than solid, and can be transported using equipment such as existing storage tanks.
