Alkali metal alkoxyborate ester salts; a contemporary look at old compounds.

Research into the use of sodium tetraalkoxyborate salts for different chemical applications including synthetic catalysis, hydrogen storage, or battery applications has been investigated, however, understanding of the structural, thermal and electrochemical properties of these salts has been lacking since the 1950s and 1960s. A review of the synthesis, as well as a thorough characterization using
