Abstract
A method of dehydrogenating an amine-borane having the formula R1H2N—BH2R2 using base metal catalyst. The method generates hydrogen and produces at least one of a [R1HN—BHR2]m oligomer and a [R1N—BR2]n oligomer. The method of dehydrogenating amine-boranes may be used to generate H2 for portable power sources, such as, but not limited to, fuel cells.
