Solid-state Al−Li/NaBH4mixtures with salts have been fabricated for hydrogen evolution through a milling process, providing uniform dispersion of metals Al, Li and salts among pulverized NaBH4particles, in order to increase the contacts of NaBH4 with active catalytic sites. The results show that the mixture has good hydrolysis properties, especially that Al−Li−CoCl2/NaBH4mixture has hydrogen yield of 1482 mL g-1in 40−minute hydrolysis in pure water, with 100% conversion efficiency. The catalytic effect comes from Al(OH)3and Ni2B or Co2B, which were fabricated in the hydrolysis process.

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.

Milling Method

The Al-Li-Ni3Sn2 composites were prepared via milling method and their hydrolysis performance was presented in the paper. The milled Al-Li-Ni3Sn2 composites showed high hydrolysis performance at 30-600C, especially that Al-3.5wt%Li-20wt%Ni3Sn2 composite had 100% and 1103 ml hydrogen/g of hydrogen yield within 20 min at 500C.The hydrolysis performance improvement of Al-Li-Ni3Sn2 composite was due to the addition of Ni3Sn2 while Ni3Sn2 combined with Al and formed nano structure of Ni-based alloys deposited on the surface of Al. The structure of Al-(Ni alloy) could act as active sites in the hydrolysis process because the milled products such as AlNi, Al-NiSn and Al- Ni3Sn2 had high electrochemical activity in the hydrolysis process. Therefore, Al-Li-Ni3Sn2 composites were a potential hydrogen source for fuel cell.

Co2B catalyst was milled with Al and Li to form Al-Li-Co2B composite, and the hydrogen generation performance of Al-Li-Co2B/NaBH4 system was investigated in this study. 100% hydrogen yield was reached, and high hydrogen generation rate was regulated by optimizing the composition design and preparation technology. The improvement was attributed to the synergetic effect of Co2B and Li in the preparation process, whereas a large specific surface area was obtained with the increase in Li content, Co2B, and milling time. In addition, the catalytic activity of Co2B and LiOH from Li hydrolysis was heightened for the hydrolysis of the Al/NaBH4 system because of the addition of Al(OH)3, LiAl2(OH)7.xH2O, and NaBO2 in the hydrolysis process.

Developing a highly stable and non-precious, low-cost, bifunctional electrocatalyst is essential for energy storage and energy conversion devices due to the increasing demand from the consumers. Therefore, the fabrication of a bifunctional electrocatalyst is an emerging focus for the promotion and dissemination of energy storage/conversion devices. Spinel and perovskite transition metal oxides have been widely explored as efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts to replace the noble metals in fuel cell and metal-air batteries. In this work, we developed a bifunctional catalyst for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) study using the mechanochemical route coupling of cobalt oxide nano/microspheres and carbon black particles incorporated lanthanum manganite perovskite (LaMnO3@C-Co3O4) composite. It was synthesized through a simple and less-time consuming solid-state ball-milling method. The synthesized LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy techniques. The electrocatalysis results showed excellent electrochemical activity towards ORR/OER kinetics using LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 catalyst, as compared with Pt/C, bare LaMnO3@C, and LaMnO3@C-RuO2 catalysts. The observed results suggested that the newly developed LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 electrocatalyst can be used as a potential candidate for air-cathodes in fuel cell and metal-air batteries.
