Abstract:
A cobalt-boron catalyst/carrier for generating hydrogen and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to substitute for noble metal catalysts and be usable in a hydrogen generation reaction of other borohydrides as well as NaBH4, by using capacitive deionization and chemical reduction. One or more types of non-noble-boron catalysts are supported within a carrier, wherein the one or two types of non-noble-boron catalysts are non-noble-boron oxides or non-noble-boron compounds except non-noble-carbon oxides. The carrier has a capacitive deionization performance. The non-noble ion is adsorbed on the carrier by capacitive deionization, and reduced by alkaline borohydride as a reducing agent.
Abstract:
A cobalt-boron catalyst/carrier for generating hydrogen and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to improve the activity of the catalyst, reduce the loss of catalyst in a continuous circulation type reaction, and substitute for noble metal catalysts, by manufacturing the cobalt-boron catalyst/carrier using an alkaline borohydride solution. A cobalt-boron catalyst/carrier for generating hydrogen is manufactured by using an alkaline borohydride solution. One or two types of cobalt-boron catalysts are supported on a carrier, wherein the one or two types of cobalt-boron catalysts are cobalt-boron oxides or cobalt-boron compounds except cobalt-carbon oxides. The alkaline borohydride solution is prepared by mixing one hydroxide selected from NaOH and KOH into one borohydride selected from NaBH4, KBH4, and LiBH4.
