Aluminium hydride: a reversible material for hydrogen storage
Aluminium hydride has been synthesized electrochemically, providing a synthetic route which closes a reversible cycle for regeneration of the material and bypasses expensive thermodynamic costs which have precluded AlH3 from being considered as a H2 storage material.

June 26, 2009 | 2:21 PMThis work work was already done in Germany in 1958! They obtained a more pure AlH3 compound that DOES NOT CONTAIN sodium at all. They used Hg as a cathode and the Hg electrode amalgated the Na+ in solution keeping Na+ from becoming part of the finished AlH3 product!
We are all re-inventing wheel!
