· JVASP-86121· LiBH2

Lithium borohydride (LiBH₄) is an ionic ceramic compound and one of the most promising chemical hydride materials for solid-state hydrogen storage applications. It belongs to the complex hydride family and is primarily investigated in research and development contexts for energy storage systems where high volumetric hydrogen density is critical. LiBH₄ is notable for its potential to enable next-generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and stationary energy storage, offering significantly higher hydrogen content per unit volume compared to conventional metal hydrides or compressed gas systems, though thermal management and material decomposition remain engineering challenges being actively addressed.
