Organometallics for Hydrogen Storage Applications

  • Chapter
Organometallics and Related Molecules for Energy Conversion

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

In this chapter, the role of organometallic compounds for hydrogen storage applications is highlighted. In this context, the focus is on transition metal complex-catalysed dehydrogenations of amine-borane adducts as a special class of so-called chemical hydrides as well as dehydrogenation reactions of formic acid and alcohols, which are also discussed as possible fuel alternatives.
