Researchers at the University of Oregon (UO) have developed a boron-nitrogen-based liquid-phase storage material for hydrogen that works safely at room temperature; is both air- and moisture-stable; releases H2controllably and cleanly at temperatures below or at the proton exchange membrane fuel cell waste-heat temperature of 80 °C; utilizes catalysts that are cheap and abundant for H2 desorption; features reasonable gravimetric and volumetric storage capacity; and does not undergo a phase change upon H2desorption.
