Catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) has been investigated as a method to generate hydrogen for fuel cell applications. The high purity of the generated hydrogen makes this process a potential source of hydrogen for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this paper, a PEMFC power system employing a NaBH4 hydrogen generator is designed to supply continuous power to residential power ...
Ruthenium on nickel-foam catalyst was prepared for hydrogen production from the hydrolysis reaction of an alkaline NaBH4 solution. Experiments were carried out at five temperatures (30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 °C) in a 0.1 dm3 small batch reactor. To understand the kinetic behaviour of the hydrolysis reaction in the presence of this catalyst, the experimental data were fitted to three kinetic models (zero-order, firs...
Catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) has been investigated as a method to generate hydrogen for fuel cell applications. The high purity of the generated hydrogen makes this process an ideal source of hydrogen for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this paper, the possibility of using a NaBH4-based hydrogen generator with a PEMFC for stand-alone residential use is examined. A comp...
