Heat-Induced Dry Hydrolysis of Sodium Borohydride/Oxalic Acid Dihydrate Composite for Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: The generation of hydrogen, free of poisonous gas, combined with a lightweight proton-exchange membrane fuel cell can expand the use of hydrogen energy from conventional ground transportation vehicles and power stations to a variety of flying vehicles and wearable devices for civilian and military purposes. Herein, a hydrogen fuel composite composed of sodium borohydride (SB) and oxalic acid dihydrate (OA·2H₂O) is introduced. The SB/OA·2H₂O composite was easily decomposed to generate pure hydrogen at a trigger temperature of 50 °C, at which the water molecules of the OA·2H₂O component were effectively liberated, inducing hydrolysis of the SB component to produce hydrogen gas. This dry hydrolysis-based hydrogen generation using the SB/OA·2H₂O comp
