Hydrogen generation from aluminum-water systems

Aluminum is one of the most active metals with high affinity to oxygen. In reality however, its reactivity is drastically reduced by the presence of a nanometer-thin oxide film which prevents (or slows down) its corrosion in environments in which the pH ranges from about 4 to 9. Increased reactivity...
