The sodium borohydride hydrolysis hydrogen fuel cell generator has the following characteristics:
Rapid Hydrogen Production
Sodium borohydride can rapidly hydrolyze to generate hydrogen under the action of a catalyst. Each mole of sodium borohydride releases four moles of hydrogen upon hydrolysis; the hydrogen production rate is easily controllable, and the produced hydrogen features high purity. No additional purification process is needed, and it can be directly used as a raw material for fuel cells.
High-Purity Hydrogen
The hydrogen produced by sodium borohydride hydrolysis is of high purity without the need for further purification, which reduces hydrogen production costs and simplifies the process flow.
Environmental Friendliness
This hydrogen production process is carried out at room temperature without requiring high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and hydrogen can also be produced at 0℃ with no pollution generated during the process.
Recyclable Catalyst
The catalyst can be recycled for use in the sodium borohydride hydrolysis hydrogen production process, further lowering the operating costs.
Wide Range of Applications
The sodium borohydride hydrolysis hydrogen production technology is not only suitable for fuel cell vehicles, but also applicable to other scenarios requiring pure hydrogen supply, such as high-power consumption mobile electronic devices.
Technical Challenges
Despite the numerous advantages of sodium borohydride hydrolysis hydrogen production, problems such as foam runaway, poor hydrogen production stability and low response sensitivity still exist when operating under high-concentration conditions. These issues have restricted the commercial application of this technology.
