I think the point is that it gives a greater energy than ordinary hydrogen combustion. Figures below should be relevant to the claims, but I haven't managed to attach them all in a single post due to forum limitations. They come from https://pdfaiw.uspto.gov/.aiw?…onNum=&idkey=E5151C22EABA
QuoteDisplay More[0075] FIG. 7 shows the results of the DSC (100-750 °C) of NaH at a scan rate of 0.1 degree/minute. A broad endothermic peak was observed at 350 °C to 420 °C. which corresponds to 47 kJ/mole and matches sodium hydride decomposition in this temperature range with a corresponding enthalpy of 57 kJ/mole. A large exotherm was observed under conditions that form NaH catalyst in the region 640 °C to 825 °C. which corresponds to at least -354 kJ/mole H2, greater than that of the most exothermic reaction possible for H, the -241.8 kJ/mole H2 enthalpy of combustion of hydrogen.
[0076] FIG. 8 shows the results of the DSC (100-750.degree. C.) of MgH2 at a scan rate of 0.1 degree/minute. Two sharp endothermic peaks were observed. A first peak centered at 351.75 °C corresponding to 68.61 kJ/mole MgH2 matches the 74.4 kJ mole MgH2 decomposition energy. The second peak at 647.66 °C corresponding to 6.65 kJ/mole MgH2 matches the known melting point of Mg(m) is 650 °C. and enthalpy of fusion of 8.48 kJ/mole Mg(m). Thus, the expected behavior was observed for the decomposition of a control, noncatalyst hydride.
