Abstract
Abstract Aluminum hydride (AlH3) is a binary metal hydride that contains more than 10.1 wt% of hydrogen and possesses a high volumetric hydrogen density of 148 kg H2 m−3. Pristine AlH3 can readily release hydrogen at a moderate temperature below 200 °C. Such high hydrogen density and low desorption temperature make AlH3 one of most promising hydrogen storage media for mobile application. This review covers the research activity on the structures, synthesis, decomposition thermodynamics and kinetics, regeneration and application validation of AlH3 over the past decades. Finally, the future research directions of AlH3 as a hydrogen storage material will be revealed.
