Abstract

The problem of whether α-AlH3 crystallized by aluminum hydride etherates (A1H3 • raEt2O) stored for varying time is systematically studied. First, A1H3 •raEt2O was prepared by a conventional method and stored under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 to 20 days, and then α-AlH3 was prepared by a solid phase and vacuum crystallizing technique based on the AlH3-raEt2O. X R D, TGA and SEM analysis show that the ether composition gradually decreases during storage and α-AlH3 with higher purity can be prepared within 10 days of storage. However, after 10 days, γ-AlH3 with smaller particle size appeared. Finally, we confirm that the amount of ether in AlH3-raEt2O is directly related to the quality of prepared α-AlH3. Another highlight of this paper is the abandonment of the toxic reagent toluene used in conventional processes.
