Zusammenfassung:The B all and N all? Ammonia–borane (AB, H3NBH3) contains 19.6 weight % H, and is one of the materials currently being examined as a possible H2 source for use in fuel cells to power automobiles. Challenges for this technology are noted, and recent advances, especially in the development of both transition‐metal and acid catalysts which promote H2 release from AB under mild conditions, are highlighted.
