Interactions between LiAlH4and LiNH2through a gaseous ammonia intermediate have been investigated. LiAlH4and LiNH2powders with a molar ratio of 1:1 were separated in two containers inside a reactor and heated from room temperature to 350°C at a heating rate of 1°C/min. The results showed that LiNH2would decompose into Li2NH and NH3to certain extent even at a relatively low temperature. Ammonia then reacted with Al and LiH that decomposed from LiAlH4, whereupon the chemical equilibrium of the system was altered and the initial reaction temperature was lowered. Ammonia decomposed from LiNH2acted as an intermediate. A pathway for the thermal decomposition of the system was proposed as: The heating rate and initial molar ratio of reactants will affect the value of m, thus the final resultants vary. The theoretical hydrogen desorption capacity of the system was calculated to be in the range of 7.39–7.88wt.% and a total desorption capacity of 7.37wt.% was obtained by thermal decomposition.
