Ammonium borohydride is an inorganic compound that works as a good hydrogen storage material because of its high hydrogen density. It is used in hydrogen storage systems where stabilization at high pressure and nanoconfinement in mesoporous materials are needed. It works as a precursor in the synthesis of ammonia borane that is used in the manufacturing of fuel cells. Its derivatives have diverse structures that include 3D frameworks and 2D layers that provide modified hydrogen release profiles by changing hydrogen bonding interactions.

It is used in the pharmaceutical sector because of its reducing properties to synthesize antibiotics and other biologically active molecules. It is utilized in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, like aldehydes and ketones, to alcohols that are further used as intermediates in drug manufacturing. It has a short half-life at ambient conditions and limited cyclic stability under moderate temperatures that require advanced stabilization techniques and hybrid methods. It is a popular product in renewable energy systems with practical applications in hydrogen storage and energy conversion technologies.

Feedstock for Ammonium Borohydride

The production of ammonium borohydride involves ammonium chloride and sodium borohydride as the major feedstock. The fluctuations in the prices and availability of this first line of raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of ammonium chloride is affected by factors like raw material availability, market demand, etc. The prices and availability of its major feedstock, ammonia (the changes in the market dynamics of natural gas or coal impact ammonia’s procurement) and hydrochloric acid (instability in the market of chlorine and hydrogen affects the availability of hydrochloric acid) affect its sourcing. The price of hydrochloric acid is also affected by the choice of production method, as factors like energy costs and transportation expenses impact manufacturing costs. Changes in demand in industries like fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and food processing further affect its costs and availability. Other factors like regulatory compliance, transportation, and logistics factors like shipping rates and inflation rates affect its sourcing.

Sodium borohydride is another major feedstock used in the production of ammonium borohydride. Its sourcing is affected by the availability and prices of its raw materials like sodium hydride (choice of production method and its demand in different industries affects sodium hydride’s procurement) and boron trichloride (prices of raw materials such as boron oxide or boron carbide directly impact its production costs). The fluctuations in its demand for pharmaceuticals for drug synthesis and in environmental applications for wastewater treatment impact its availability. The compliance with environmental regulations for handling and disposal of hazardous materials adds up to procurement costs.

The product is extracted using tetrahydrofuran to the reaction mixture giving ammonium borohydride as the final product.
 

Properties of Ammonium Borohydride

Ammonium borohydride has a molecular formula of NH4BH4 and a molecular weight of 32.88 g/mol. It has a rock salt-type crystal structure formed by disordered tetrahedral complexes of NH4? and BH4? ions, interconnected through dense dihydrogen bonding networks. It has a high gravimetric hydrogen density that exceeds 24.5 wt% H2. The compound is unstable at room temperature and decomposes rapidly and needs methods like cryo-mechanochemical treatment or solid solution formation to keep it stabilized. It decomposes in the range of 68–96 degree Celsius when stabilized, and its thermal stability is affected by Pauling electronegativity of stabilizing metals, structural dimensionality, etc. It is highly reactive and sensitive to environmental conditions but can be stabilized in solid solutions or modified. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in hydrogen storage and pharmaceuticals.
