MoO3-Doped MnCo2O4 Microspheres Consisting of Nanosheets: An Inexpensive Nanostructured Catalyst to Hydrolyze Ammonia Borane for Hydrogen Generation

Nanoporous nickel spheres as highly active catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia borane.

Hydrogen Release From Ammonia Borane

Development of a safe and efficient storage medium for hydrogen is integral to its use as an alternative energy source. The overall goal of the studies described in this dissertation was to investigate the use of a chemical hydride, ammonia borane (AB (19.6 wt% H2)), as a potentially efficient material for hydrogen storage. The specific goals of this study were both to develop new efficient met...

Ammonia-Borane Complex for Hydrogen Storage

The goal of this project was to develop a high-density hydrogen storage system based on ammonia borane (AB) complex. Due to their high hydrogen capacity, AB hydrides have been employed as disposable hydrogen (H2) sources for fuel cell applications. The objectives of this project were to 1) identify viable amine-borane (AB) complexes for hydrogen storage at ambient conditions, and 2) develop a c...

A hydridoirida-beta-diketone as an efficient and robust homogeneous catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts in air to produce hydrogen.

The first homogeneous metal-catalysed hydrolysis of ammonia-borane or amine-borane adducts for hydrogen generation, using a stable organometallic complex [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)H}], is reported.

Ab initio investigation of ammonia-borane complexes for hydrogen storage.

The structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of ammonia-borane complexes with varying amounts of hydrogen have been characterized by first principles calculations within density functional theory. The calculated structural parameters and thermodynamic functions (free energy, enthalpy and entropy) were found to be in good agreement with experimental and quantum chemistry data for the...
