Hydrogen has been investigated for some time as a possible renewable energy source but its practical application has been limited by storage problems. In this HOT article, Tom Autrey and co-workers have studied the stabilisation and destabilisation of ammonium borohydride with a view to its use as a promising hydrogen storage material. The results suggest that ammonium borohydride could be stabilized by high pressure hydrogen or inert gas.
