Cover Story: Ammine metal borohydrides exhibit a large compositional and structural diversity and have been proposed as candidates for solid-state ammonia and hydrogen storage. Recently, these materials have received new attention as a novel class of solid-state electrolytes. Here, we report on the synthesis, crystal structures, and thermal properties of two new ammine barium borohydrides. Ammonia is absorbed at room temperature and is reversible released from compounds below 150 °C, reforming barium borohydride. This work discusses trends in the gas release and decomposition temperatures for the entire range of ammine alkaline earth metal borohydrides, which can be correlated to the charge density of the metal cation.
