Effects of accelerators, and metal salts on the hydrolysis of sodium tetrahydroborate: A kinetic and mechanistic study for hydrogen generation

Sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH4) was used as a fuel source for hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. The oxalic acid, Ag+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ accelerates the hydrogen (H2 gas) evolution from the self-hydrolysis of NaBH4 at 30 °C. Kinetics of H2 gas generation was evaluated as a function of catalyst, NaBH4, sodium hy...
