Abstract

The solid solution, (LiNH₂)_x(LiBH₄)_(1−x), formed through the reaction of the two potential hydrogen storage materials, LiNH₂ and LiBH₄, is dominated by a compound that has an ideal stoichiometry of Li₄BN₃H₁₀ and forms a body-centred cubic structure with a lattice constant of ca. 10.66 Å.
