The solvation of ammonia borane by diglyme
Abstract: Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used to generate electricity with a fuel cell, the only byproduct being water. The hydrogen release properties of AB can be improved by the addition of a polyether. Studying the interactions between AB and the polyether could provide insight into what causes the improvement as well as potentially let us suggest additives that further improve the system. Diglyme is a solvent which structurally resembles a shortened polyether chain, and should interact with AB in the same way. By observing the solvation of AB in diglyme with neutron scattering, we will obtain structural information on the AB-polyether system that we cannot get from other techniques like X-ray scattering; which do not show much information on hydrogen.
