NaBH₂ (sodium borohydride) is an inorganic ceramic compound and strong reducing agent used primarily as a chemical reagent and energy storage material. In industrial applications, it serves as a hydrogen source for fuel cell systems, a reducing agent in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis, and a component in advanced energy storage materials; its high hydrogen content and stability make it valuable for emerging hydrogen economy applications and specialty chemical processes where conventional reducing agents prove inadequate.
