:Magnesium borohydride
Description:
Magnesium borohydride (Mg(BH4)2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline solid form. It is a hydride of magnesium and boron, notable for its ability to release hydrogen gas upon decomposition, making it a potential candidate for hydrogen storage applications. The compound is typically synthesized through the reaction of magnesium hydride with boron trichloride or by other methods involving boron and magnesium sources. Magnesium borohydride is soluble in polar solvents, and its reactivity can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure. It exhibits a relatively high thermal stability compared to other borohydrides, but it can still decompose at elevated temperatures. The compound has garnered interest in various fields, including materials science and energy storage, due to its favorable hydrogen release properties and potential use in fuel cells. However, handling magnesium borohydride requires caution, as it can react vigorously with water and other protic solvents, releasing hydrogen gas and potentially leading to hazardous situations.
