On-site hydrogen supply is a key issue for the commercialization of fuel cells, which is one of the important ways for realizing a Hydrogen-economy society. Composite NaNH2-NaBH4 is regarded as a promising high-capacity hydrogen storage material. Here the composite NaNH2-NaBH4 (2/1) is synthesized via a solid-state ball milling method. In order to improve the hydrogen generation kinetics, a multiplex metal boride Mg-Co-B is selected as the catalysts. X-ray diffraction (XRD) finds that Na3BN2 and metal Na are by-products in the thermal decomposed sample. Thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) indicates that the main decomposition stages of the catalyst promoted NaNH2-NaBH4 material are split into three stages. The activation energy of the Mg-Co-B promoted NaNH2-NaBH4 (2/1) material below 300℃ is 76.4KJ/mol, which is only 47.9% of that of the pristine NaNH2-NaBH4 (2/1), and implying much better hydrogen generation kinetics.
Keywords:Fuel cells; hydrogen storage material; thermal decomposition; kinetics; catalyst; metal boride
