Boron nitride, BN, for hydrogen storage emerged in the beginning of the millennium and there swiftly followed more than 15 years of efforts combining experimental laboratory works and to a greater extent computational predictions. BN has been considered mainly for the storage of molecular hydrogen, H2 , by physisorption and/or chemisorption over a wide range of temperatures, that is, between -196 °C and 300 °C. Yet its potential has gone beyond the sorption of H2 as it has been also, although less extensively, involved in chemical H storage. The present review aims at giving a comprehensive overview of the main experimental results and findings as well as of the different avenues worth being explored. A key lesson of this survey is that boron nitride may turn out to be a promising material for hydrogen storage at room conditions provided all the predictions come true. The "ball" is now in the lab experimenters' court.

氮化硼用于储氢。

用于储氢的氮化硼（BN）在千年初出现，并迅速进行了15多年的努力，结合了实验实验室工作和更大范围的计算预测。人们认为BN主要用于在宽范围的温度（即-196°C至300°C）之间通过物理吸附和/或化学吸附来存储分子氢H2。然而，它的潜力已经超出了H2的吸附范围，尽管它的参与程度虽然较小，但仍涉及化学H的存储。本综述旨在对主要的实验结果和发现以及值得探索的不同途径进行全面概述。这项调查的一个重要教训是，只要所有的预测都实现，氮化硼可能会成为在室温下储氢的有前途的材料。这个“球”现在在实验室实验者的法庭上。
