title: Changing the dehydrogenation pathway of LiBH4-MgH2via nanosized lithiated TiO2.
abstract: Nanosized lithiated titanium oxide (LixTiO2) noticeably improves the kinetic behaviour of 2LiBH4+ MgH2. The presence of LixTiO2reduces the time required for the first dehydrogenation by suppressing the intermediate reaction to Li2B12H12, leading to direct MgB2formation.
