Germanium hydrides as an efficient hydrogen-storage material operated by an iron catalyst
Yoshinao Kobayashi, Yusuke Sunada
Abstract
Germanium hydride Ph 2 GeH 2 can act as an efficient and reusable hydrogen-production/-storage material with the aid of iron catalysts. Hydrogen evolution from Ph 2 GeH 2 as well as regeneration of Ph 2 GeH 2 was realized at around room temperature.
