Improving effects of LiH and Co-catalyst on the dehydrogenation of Li4BN3H10 were investigated in this work. It was found that 9.6 wt % or 5 equiv. moles of H2 can be evolved from the promoted sample at 250 掳C, which is 110 掳C lower than that of pristine Li4BN3H10. More importantly, NH3 emission is depressed dramatically, with its concentration in hydrogen decreasing from 12 mol % to 0.008 mol % (or 80 ppm). Melting of Li4BN3H10 is essential for one unit of LiNH2 fleeing from the structure and interacting with LiH to evolve 1 equiv. mole of H2, in the meantime, Co-catalyst takes effect on the dissociation of remaining Li3BN2H8, resulting in the evolution of another 4 equiv. moles of H2 at temperatures close to that of LiNH2鈭扡iH.
