Application

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil) (NaH) can be used for a variety of applications such as:

• preparation of a plasticizer for the formation of a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) for optoelectronic application
• synthesis of heteroaryl thioethers, the common constituents in therapeutic compounds
• preparation of sodium aluminum hydride (NaAlH₄), which can be used as a hydrogen storage material(3)
• a base and a reducing agent for the deprotonation of alcohols, phenols, amides, ketones, and different functional groups(4)
• for potential usage in thermal energy storage(5)

Direct intercalation into C₆₀ results in the superconducting material (NaH)₄C₆₀.
