Abstract:Energy demands, and environmental aspects raised the need to study hydrogen‐carrying material such as borohydride for the practical usage of hydrogen as a cleaner and more efficient fuel. A proper understanding of the hydrogen generation mechanism is a key requirement for the designing of efficient catalysts as the non‐catalytic hydrolysis of borohydride in non‐acidic media is a slow process. The hydrolysis mechanism of borohydride varies considerably using homogeneous and heterogenous catalysts. A comparison … Show more
