Scale-up of a clean hydrogen production system through the hydrolysis of sodium...
Silva, Diogo; Nunes, Helder Xavier; Rangel, Carmen M.; Pinto, A. M. F. R.ABSTRACT: Hydrogen is considered a promising energy vector with the potential to replace fossil fuels, and sodium borohydride serves as an effective energy carrier capable of releasing hydrogen (H2) for off-grid applications. However, the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride has only matured at laboratory-scale. Therefore, the scale-up of a laboratory reactor was designed and manufactured to study the effect of lar...
Rehydrogenation of sodium borates to close the NaBH4-H2 cycle: a review
Nunes, Helder Xavier; Silva, Diogo; Rangel, C. M.; Pinto, A.M.F.R.ABSTRACT: In 2007, the US Department of Energy recommended a no-go on NaBH4 hydrolysis for onboard applications; however, the concept of a NaBH4-H2-PEMFC system has the potential to become a primary source for on-demand power supply. Despite the many efforts to study this technology, most of the published papers focus on catalytic performance. Nevertheless, the development of a practical reaction system to clos...
