Abstract
The paper presents the characteristics behavior of Ammonia Borane (NH3BH3), which is an encouraging solid-state hydrogen storage material having theoretical 19.6 weight % hydrogen content. Ammonia Borane decomposes thermally between 373 to 473 K temperatures, and the limitations associated with the decomposition is slow kinetics with a warm-up period of 20 min. With the addition of the Silicon nanoparticle approach, the ball milling process was used to enhance the kinetics and suppress the warm-up period during the isothermal decomposition. The isothermal decomposition curve for silicon added ball-milled Ammonia Borane represents an enhancement in hydrogen uptake of about 9 wt % compared to the pure crystalline powder sample of Ammonia Borane. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) spectroscopy techniques validated the hydrogen released characteristics from the Ammonia Borane.
