Nevertheless, its thermodynamics and kinetics studies are very active today and efficient ways to meet fuel cell,requirements might be done through lowering the temperature for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and suitable catalyst.,Some improvements are expected to enable LiBH4 to be used in on-board hydrogen storage.
