Facile cycling of Ti-doped LiAlH4 for high performance hydrogen storage.
LiH and Ti-doped Al react quantitatively with H(2) in Me(2)O solution to form LiAlH(4) under mild conditions. The solvent is easily vented along with excess H(2) on completion, leaving dry Ti-doped LiAlH(4); this releases approximately 7 wt % H(2) commencing at 80 degrees C with excellent kinetics.
