Determination of Structure and Phase Transition of Light Element Nanocomposites in Mesoporous Silica: Case study of NHBH in MCM-41.

Nanocomposition of molecular crystal ammonia borane (AB) by embedding it in mesoporous silica leads to a remarkable enhancement of the hydrogen storage properties. To investigate the nature of a nanophase AB, we used atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of synchrotron X-ray powder diffra...
