In the present investigation, the Al-C-KCl composite powders were prepared by a ball milling processing in an attempt to improve the hydrogen evolution capacity of aluminum in water. The results showed that the hydrogen generation reaction is affected by KCl amount, preparation processing, initial aluminum particle size and reaction temperature. Increasing KCl amount led to an increased hydrogen generation volume. The use of aluminum powder with a fine particle size could promote the aluminum hydrolysis reaction and get an increased hydrogen generation rate. The reaction temperature played an important role in hydrogen generation rate and the maximum hydrogen generation rate of 44.8 cm3 min-1g-1of Al was obtained at 75oC. The XRD results identified that the hydrolysis byproducts are bayerite (Al(OH)3) and boehmite (AlOOH).

Hydrolysis of Al and NaBH4 for hydrogen generation has obtained considerable attention as a portable hydrogen source system. In this paper, we report a new combined hydrogen generation from Al powder and alkaline NaBH4 solution activated by NiCl2 additive. The system is characterized as the followed features: the interaction of Al/NaBH4 hydrolysis, catalytic effect of Ni2B for Al and NaBH4, Al hydrolysis stimulated by NaOH solution. The effects which affect the hydrogen generation performance of the system were studied. The results showed that a favorable combination of high hydrogen yield and high hydrogen generation rate might be obtained via the optimized composition design. Therefore, the system may be developed as a portable hydrogen source system.

Silicon Activity

A potential hydrogen source generated from milled Li-Si-AlCl3 composite was evaluated in this paper. The composite exhibits good hydrogen generation performance in water at 313–343 K, whereas pure silicon powder cannot continuously react with water under similar conditions. The hydrogen yield reaches 1300 mL hydrogen/g within 20 min, and the highest hydrogen generation rate is higher than 1200 mL hydrogen/g min within the first minute of hydrolysis. The hydrogen generation performance increases with increasing concentrations of lithium and aluminum chloride. Microstructure analysis indicates that silicon activity increases due to decreased particle size and distribution of lithium and aluminum chloride into silicon matrix during milling. The hydrolysis of the additives generates heat and alkaline hydrolysis byproducts, thereby stimulating the hydrolysis rate of silicon in the micro area. Therefore, the hydrolysis of silicon in water may act as a potential hydrogen source for portable micro fuel cells.

Generation of hydrogen by sodium borohydride solution had attracted lots of attention. A serial of nanosized NiB catalysts were prepared using the chemical reduction method through introducing AlCl3 into the preparation. Catalytic performance of NiB catalysts were investigated in the hydrolysis of alkaline NaBH4 solution. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that NiB catalysts possessed amorphous alloy structure, and the particle size could be adjusted by the AlCl3 amount. Catalytic performance showed that NiB catalyst with smaller particle size had much higher activity. The NiB catalyst also displayed high stability, the catalytic activity could retain about 84% of its initial value after four cycles.

AbstractThe electrochemical activity of catalysts strongly depends on the uniform distribution of monodisperse Pt nanoparticles without aggregates. Here, we propose a new hydrolysis-assisted smearing method for Pt loading on a free-standing paper-type electrode. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofiber paper was used as the electrode, and it acted as a Pt support. Hydrolysis of the electrode tripled the number of active nucleation sites for Pt adsorption on the PAN nanofibers, thereby significantly enhancing the wettability of the nanofibers. This facilitated the uniform distribution of Pt nanoparticles without aggregate formation up to 40 wt% (about 0.8 mg/cm2) with a particle size of about 3 nm. The catalytic current of the hydrolyzed Pt electrode in CH3OH/H2SO4 solution exceeded 213 mA/cm2 Pt mg, which was considerably greater than the current was 148 mA/cm2 Pt mg for an unhydrolyzed electrode.
