| Abstract
| - The hydrogen desorption properties of lithium borohydride, LiBH4, ball milled with titania, TiO2, in varying proportions have been investigated. The multicomponent LiBH4−TiO2 materials have been found to dehydrogenate at much lower temperatures. For example, the onset of dehydrogenation was 150 °C for a LiBH4−TiO2 mixture with a mass ratio of 1:4 and the majority of the hydrogen could be released below 220 °C. XRD and in situ neutron diffraction results revealed that the destabilization of LiBH4 by the oxide resulted from the formation of lithium titanate.
