摘要

Boron sources in forms of SiB4/FeB/TiB2 were used to react with LiF/LiH under hydrogen atmosphere to investigate their effectiveness for synthesizing LiBH4, a promising hydrogen storage material. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) study revealed the formation of B-H bond vibrations in these hydrogenated systems, and it demonstrated the generation of LiBH4. When using FeB and TiB2, few amounts of B-H bonds were formed in the hydrogenated samples either reacting with LiH or LiF. When utilizing SiB4, the formation of B-H bonds was promoted for both systems mixing with LiH and LiF. The results imply that a stepwise process of LiBH4-x -> LiBH4 possibly took place during the hydrogenation process. Importantly, SiB4 LiH system exhibited the best hydrogenation performance. At moderate conditions of 250 degrees C and 10 MPa H-2, LiBH4 was successfully synthesized from this system. A facile synthesis pathway, SiB4(s) + 4LiH(s) + 6H(2)(g) -> 4LiBH(4)(s) + Si(s), having a Delta H-r(m) of -65 kJ/mol H-2, was proposed. This study supports that the chemical state of boron in the reactant is an important factor affecting the generation of LiBH4. A hydrogenation reaction between SiB4 and CaH2 or MgH2 may be also applicable for synthesizing Ca(BH4)(2) or Mg(BH4)(2), which are regarded as potential hydrogen storagematerials.
