Going full circle: Ammonia borane is a potential H2‐releasing fuel. Polyborazylene, a form of the spent fuel, can be regenerated efficiently in a one‐pot process by the stepwise addition of appropriate digesting and reducing agents. A unique feature of this process is the formation of NH3, which is...
