Can I read The H–D isotope effect in the stability of lithium alanate on EtoBox?

The H–D isotope effect in the stability of lithium alanate by Terry J. Frankcombe; Geert-Jan Kroes is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is The H–D isotope effect in the stability of lithium alanate about?

The enthalpies of dehydrogenation of the potential hydrogen storage material LiAlH 4 and its deuterated counterpart, LiAlD 4 , have been calculated using density functional theory at the generalised gradient approximation level and harmonic phonon analysis. While the deuterated structure is predicted to be more stable than LiAlH 4 , the decomposition of LiAlD 4 is still exothermic and spontaneous at low temperatures. The results indicate that LiD should start forming in a sample of Li 3 AlD 6 above 175 K, 17 K higher than the decomposition temperature of Li 3 AlH 6 .
