Large colloidal environmentally stable silica-coated cobalt particles were synthesized by combining the sodium borohydride reduction in aqueous solution and the Stöber method. Low size polydisperse cobalt spheres with an average size of 95 nm were synthesized by using a borohydride reduction method and were subsequently coated with a thin layer of silica by means of hydrolysis and condensation ...

Worldwide, hydrogen is gaining ground since it a promising alternative energy source to conventional fuels, which include fossil fuel. Thus, numerous techniques generate have been suggested. This literature review describes the challenges and obstacles identified through series of publications that target hydrolysis sodium borohydride. present several catalysts reactor systems for generation ga...

From the time immemorial, sodium borohydride has been used for the reagent of choice for reducing various carbonyl compounds and acid chlorides in protic solvents. Over the past decades the utility of sodium borohydride has been greatly expanded and various modifications have been developed. Reductive dechlorination of aromatic halo nitro compounds have a great significance in the field of orga...

A novel metal borohydride ammonia-borane complex Ca(BH4)2·NH3BH3 is characterized as the decomposition product of the recently reported perovskite-type metal borohydride NH4Ca(BH4)3, suggesting that ammonium-based metal borohydrides release hydrogen gas via ammonia-borane-complexes. For the first time the concept of proton-hydride interactions to promote hydrogen release is applied to a cation-...

well faceted cuo nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. a possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by ft-ir study. the large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances in catalysis as d...
