General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Lithium borohydride solution is a promising material in greener energy technologies, particularly for hydrogen storage. With a high theoretical hydrogen capacity, it enables compact and efficient energy storage systems that support clean hydrogen-powered applications Click here for more information.

Application

Lithium borohydride solution (2M in THF) has been used for the reduction of 5-benzylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones and 5-benzylidene-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinethiones to form 5-benzyl-2,4-thiazolidinediones and 5-benzyl-4-oxo-2-thiazolidinethiones, respectively.
Reactant for:
  • Preparation of gallium, indium, rhenium and zinc tris(mercaptoimidazolyl)hydroborato complexes
  • Mechano-chemical metathesis reactions
  • Noncatalytic hydrolysis for hydrogen generation
  • Growth of large gold monolayer protected-clusters
  • Anion substitution reactions
  • Dehydrogenation reactions

Packaging

The 25 mL Sure/Seal™ bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.

In this paper, ammine lithium borohydride (LiBH(4)·NH(3)) was successfully impregnated into multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through a melting technique. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and density measurements were employed to confirm the formation of the nanostructured LiBH(4)·NH(3)/CNTs composites. As
