why not Ammonia?
Ammonia has a higher energy density, at 12.7 MJ/L, than even liquid hydrogen, at 8.5 MJ/L. Liquid hydrogen has to be stored at cryogenic conditions of –253 °C, whereas ammonia can be stored at a much less energy-intensive –33 °C. And ammonia, though hazardous to handle, is much less flammable than hydrogen.

While this [0] compares liquid ammonia to pressurized hydrogen rather than liquid hydrogen, I doubt the energy density would drop that much to give up the advantage of hydrogen over ammonia.
