· JVASP-113643· NaAlH2

NaAlH₄ (sodium alanate) is a complex metal hydride compound that functions as a reversible hydrogen storage material, belonging to the family of lightweight hydride systems for energy applications. This material is primarily investigated in hydrogen storage research and advanced energy systems, where reversible hydrogen absorption and release under moderate conditions make it attractive for fuel cell vehicles and portable power systems. NaAlH₄ is notable among hydride candidates because catalytic additives can significantly improve its kinetic performance, though it remains largely in the research and development phase rather than widespread commercial deployment.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
