Abstract

Aluminum hydride(AlH3) has a high gravimetric hydrogen energy density of more than 10.0 wt.% and volumetric density (148 kgH2/m3). The material has drawn much attention because of its high hydrogen storage capacity and rapid dehydrogenation at low temperatures, and has been used in various areas, including catalysts, fuel cell, reducing agents and rocket fuel additive. AlH3 can largely promote the specific impulse of propellants when used as energetic additive in solid propellant. In this article, we focus on the research development in the field of synthesis and stabilization of AlH3 in recent decades. Particularly, the stability of AlH3 is critical for its application in solid propellants. The most widely used strategies are also introduced and compared, based on which some suggestions for possible future research directions are provided.
