5. Reaction path for the thermal decomposition of alanates

The decomposition of alanates gives rise to intermediate phases with a lower hydrogen content, due to the desorption of this gas. The stoichiometry of the intermediate phases and the amount of hydrogen released are different for each alanate family.

  • Alkaline tetra-alanates decompose and release hydrogen in three stages:

    • R1 :

    3  MAlH4→M3 AlH6+2  Al+3  H2
