Chemical hydrogen storage: Theoretical investigations showed that the dehydrogenation of chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) could be triggered by appropriate reagents through simultaneous proton and hydride transfer (see picture). The computed free-energy of the activation barrier for the reduction of formaldehyde to methanol by chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on a zigzag BNNT was predicted to be 12.7 kcal mol−1 in THF.
