Although presently of no practical importance, the solid liberates 65 MJ/kg heat upon treatment with atmospheric oxygen. Since it has a density of 0.67 g/cm3, oxidation of liquid lithium borohydride gives 43 MJ/L. In comparison, gasoline gives 44 MJ/kg (or 35 MJ/L), while liquid hydrogen gives 120 MJ/kg (or 8.0 MJ/L).
Although currently not useful for practical applications, the solid releases 65 MJ/kg of heat when exposed to atmospheric oxygen. Given its density of 0.67 g/cm3, oxidation of liquid lithium borohydride produces 43 MJ/L. In contrast, gasoline yields 44 MJ/kg (or 35 MJ/L), while liquid hydrogen offers 120 MJ/kg (or 8.0 MJ/L).
