Aluminum Hydride Polymorphs: Preparation, Characterization and Thermal Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two aluminum hydride polymorphs (α-AlH3 and β-AlH3) were prepared by desolvation of AlH3-etherate based on the organometallic synthesis method and the thermal properties of them were investigated using TG-DSC and ex situ XRD under heating and isothermal processes. The results suggest that the α polymorph is more stable than the β polymorph, and the decomposition of the less stable polymorph, β-AlH3, occurs by an exothermic transformation to the α phase followed by the decomposition of α-AlH3 into Al and H2, with partial direct decomposition occurring in the process of phase transition at low temperatures (<100 C).
