Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) hydrogen storage systems offer many advantages for hydrogen storage applications. The physical processes nside a NaBH4 packed bed reactor involve multi-component and multi-phase flow and multi-mode heat and mass transfer. These processes are lso coupled with reaction kinetics. To guide reactor design and optimization, a reactor model involving all of these processes i...

The search for a clean abundant energy source brought hydrogen gas into the limelight; however, explosive nature of brings up issues with its storage. A way to mitigate this danger is through storing in feedstock material, which contains large percentage weight as hydrogen. Sodium borohydride material that gained lot attention it readily reacts water release This study explored novel composite ...

The first general open-flask synthesis of amine-boranes with inexpensive and readily available reagents, such as sodium borohydride, sodium bicarbonate, water, and the desired amines is described. Even amines bearing borane-reactive functionalities, such as alkene, alkyne, hydroxyl, thiol, ester, amide, nitrile, and nitro are well tolerated. Some of these novel amine-boranes represent stable mo...

Complex metal hydrides such as sodium aluminohydride (NaAlH4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) are solid-state hydrogen-storage materials with high hydrogen capacities. They can be used in combination with fuel cells as a hydrogen source thus enabling longer operation times compared with classical metal hydrides. The most important point for a wide application of these materials is the reversibil...
