The invention relates to an organic matter and ammonia borane compounded hydrogen storage material. The hydrogen storage material is prepared by compounding the organic matter and the ammonia borane, wherein the organic matter is phthalic anhydride, polyethylene oxide, dextrose, mannitol or mannitol hexaacetic ester.
