Abstract:
The ammonia absorption process of sodium borohydride for ammonia storage has been studied by using the operando NMR and FT-IR measurements under various ammonia pressures. As a result, the characteristic variation in the chemical states of both materials due to the liquefaction has been clarified.

Sodium Regulation
Sodium ions make up approximately 90% of extracellular cations, with a normal blood plasma concentration of 136–148 mEq/L. A decrease in blood volume and pressure triggers the release of renin from granular cells in the juxtaglomerular complex (JGC), primarily...
