In-situ x-ray diffraction study of y-Mg(BH4)2 decomposition

We have studied the complex decomposition mechanism of cubic γ-Mg(BH4)2 (Ia3̅d, a = 15.7858(1) Å) by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed desorption, visual observation of the melt, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The decomposition and release of hydrogen...
