Abstract

This communication presents the first synthesis of nanoconfined Lithium closo-borate, Li₂B₁₂H₁₂, using nanoporous SiO₂ as scaffold. The yield of Li₂B₁₂H₁₂ is up to 94 mol%. The as-synthesized nanoconfined Li₂B₁₂H₁₂ exhibits a structural transition around 380 °C and conversion to H-deficiency Li₂B₁₂H_12−x at 580 °C.
