Abstract: The literature shows that practically no attention has been paid to the size and shape of the particles of bulk ammonia borane (NH3BH3). The published results about the influence of the dispersity of this hydride on its dehydrogenation are not numerous and contradictory. This work presents new results on the low-temperature solid-state dehydrogenation of bulk NH3BH3. The samples under study were recrystallized using different procedures and had, therefore, different particle characteristics. The reactivity of these samples of NH3BH3 was compared on the basis of thermal analysis data obtained under non-isothermal conditions, including the Kissinger kinetics, and H2 evolution under isothermal conditions (84–96°С) using Avrami-Erofeev kinetics. The finely dispersed sample with a particle size of <40 μm was found to be the most active one. A correlation between the NH3BH3 melting temperature and the temperature of its dehydrogenation has been established. A filamentous NH3BH3 with a length-to-thickness ratio of the filaments of >100 was synthesized and described for the first time. It was suggested that its relatively high reactivity was determined by its ordered structure. These results show the importance of further investigations of bulk ammonia borane with different types of particles.
