We demonstrate a method to improve the promising hydrogen storage capabilities of ammonia borane by making composites with alkaline-earth metal hydrides using ball-milling technique. The ball-milling for the mixtures of alkaline-earth metal hydride (MgH2 or CaH2) and ammonia borane (AB) yields a destabilization compared with the ingredient of the mixture, showing the hydrogen capacity of 8.7 and 5.8 mass% at easily accessible dehydrogenation peak temperatures of 78 and 72 °C, respectively, without the unwanted by-product borazine. Through detailed analyses on the dehydrogenation performance of the composite at various ratios in the hydride and AB, we proposed a different chemical activation mechanism from that in the LiH/AB and NaH/AB systems reported in a previous literature.
