· Al4 B12 H48

Al₄B₁₂H₄₈ is an aluminum boron hydride compound belonging to the family of metal hydrides and boron-containing materials. This is a research-phase material primarily of interest in hydrogen storage and advanced materials science, where its high hydrogen content and relatively low density make it a candidate for energy storage applications. The compound represents an experimental direction in lightweight structural materials and solid-state hydrogen carriers, though current industrial adoption remains limited compared to more conventional aluminum alloys or ceramic composites.
