Molecular salt hybrids; integration of ammonia borane into lithium halides

New molecular salt like hybrids contain ammonia borane AB in co existence with lithium halides in single lattices. [LiI] NH 3 BH 3 and [LiI] NH 3 BH 3 2 are members of a generic [LiX] m AB n X I amp; 8722; , H 4 amp; 8722; ; m, n integer materials family which release hydrogen on decomposition and demonstrate Li ion conductivity more than two orders of magnitude higher than either LiBH 4 or LiI
