abstract = {Prior to this research less was known about the reasons hidden behind the positive effects of transition metal halides on hydrogen release and uptake kinetics of RHCs. The insights gained by this work contributes to a much deeper understanding of structural effects of transition metal halides with respect to kinetic behaviour of composite systems and, thus, it provides a guidance for upcoming investigations in this field or of hydride composite systems, in general. This work also offers new destabilization route to further optimize the thermodynamic properties of RHC systems. In addition, this thesis provides a new pathway to synthesize transition metal boride nanoparticles, which opens possibilities to study their effects on dehydrogenation/hydrogenation kinetics in RHC model systems and their own properties with regard to other application fields such as super conductivity etc. at the molecular level.},
