General description
Calcium borohydride may be prepared using several techniques:
- by reacting diborane with calcium hydride/alkoxides
- by ball milling CaCl2 and NaBH4, resulting in an exchange reaction
- by exchange reaction between CaCl2 and NaBH4 in THF

Application
Metal Borohydrides as Hydrogen Storage Materials
Calcium borohydride is a complex alkali earth metal borohydride, which has high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities. It has a theoretical hydrogen capacity of 11.6 wt% and a low-reaction enthalpy of 32 kJ/mol H2. It can be used for greener applications, which include reversible hydrogen storage.
