Metal hydrides are of great scientific and technological interest in view of their potential applications for hydrogen storage in fuel cells, as electrodes for rechargeable batteries, in energy-conversion devices, and in nuclear science. Metal hydrides are also of fundamental importance because of their intriguing electronic, structural, and dynamical properties associated with the hydrogen atoms. Due to its low mass and high hydrogen content, BeH2 is an intriguing if not a unique material. Amorphous BeH2 synthesized at ambient conditions can transform into two known crystalline phases5 at high temperatures and pressures; both structures are composed of network-forming tetrahedra.
