Abstract

Herein, a self-assembly strategy for the realization of diverse light metal complex borohydride nanoparticles (NPs) with sphere, polygon and hollow geometries is presented. Under ambient conditions, the particle sizes of the LiBH4 NPs formed can easily be controlled by varying the concentration which enables hydrogen gas release at ∼72 °C.
