Eutectic melting in metal borohydrides
Literature Information
Mark Paskevicius, Drew A. Sheppard, Torben R. Jensen, Craig E. Buckley
A series of monometallic borohydrides and borohydride eutectic mixtures have been investigated during thermal ramping by mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and photography. Mixtures of LiBH4–NaBH4, LiBH4–KBH4, LiBH4–Mg(BH4)2, LiBH4–Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4–Mn(BH4)2, NaBH4–KBH4, and LiBH4–NaBH4–KBH4 all displayed melting behaviour below that of the monometallic phases (up to 167 °C lower). Generally, each system behaves differently with respect to their physical behaviour upon melting. The molten phases can exhibit colour changes, bubbling and in some cases frothing, or even liquid–solid phase transitions during hydrogen release. Remarkably, the eutectic melt can also allow for hydrogen release at temperatures lower than that of the individual components. Some systems display decomposition of the borohydride in the solid-state before melting and certain hydrogen release events have also been linked to the adverse reaction of samples with impurities, usually within the starting reagents, and these may also be coupled with bubbling or frothing of the ionic melt.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
