The two-step reaction between LiH and NH3BH3 in THF leads to the production of more than 14 wt% of hydrogen at 40 °C.In the present study we investigate the reactivity of AB dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with a suspension of LiH and observe the formation of LiNH2BH3 and enhanced reaction kinetics with an interesting dependence on AB concentration.
