Abstract

A facile method in synthesizing crystalline lithiated amines via ball milling primary amines with LiH unprecedented endothermic dehydrogenation feature in the temperature range of 150-250 Degree}C., showing potentials as a new type of hydrogen storage material. Structural analysis and mechanistic studies on lithiated ethylenediamine (li₂EDA) indciate that LI may mediate the dehyrodgenation through α, β LiH elimination mechanism, creating a more energy favorable pathway for the selective H₂ release.
