The most favorable dopants for solid-state hydrogen-storage materials are still considered to be compounds of titanium in spite intensive research on other catalysts. Here, we show that NaAlH4 doped with ScCl3 is a highly efficient dopant, both respect storage capacity and kinetics: 2 mol % exhibits nearly theoretical (4.9 wt %, see graph). Other rare-earth metal trichlorides also investigated. Supporting information this article available the WWW under http://www.wiley-vch.de/contents/jc_2089/2006/c1367_s.pdf or from author.
