description Realizing rapid and stable hydrogen sorption at low temperature is critical for magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials. Herein, liquid channels are built in magnesium hydride by introducing lithium borohydride ion conductors as an efficient route for improving its hydrogen sorption. For instance, the 5 wt% LiBH<sub>4</sub>-doped MgH<sub>2</sub> can release about 7.1 wt.% H<sub>2</sub> within 40 min at 300 °C but pure MgH<sub>2</sub> only desorbs less than 0.7 wt.% H<sub>2</sub>, and more importantly it delivers faster desorption kinetics with more than 10 times enhancement to pure MgH<sub>2</sub>. The hydrogen absorption capacity of LiBH<sub>4</sub>-doped MgH<sub>2</sub> can still be well kept at approximately 7.2 wt.% without obvious capacity degradation even after six absorption and desorption cycles. This approach is not only through building ion transfer channels as a hydrogen carrier for kinetic enhancement but also by inhibiting the agglomeration of MgH<sub>2</sub> particles to obtain stable cyclic performance, which brings further insights to promoting the hydrogen ab-/desorption of other metal hydrides.
