Thermal decomposition kinetics of light-weight composite NaNH2–NaBH4 hydrogen storage materials for fuel cells

Applications of Kinetic Methods in Thermal Analysis: A Review

“…Other kinetic methods, such as Friedman method, [27] Friedman-Reich-Levi method, [28,29] Augis-Bennett/Boswell method, [30,31] Antić-Colović method, [32,33] Sestak-Berggren method, [34,35] Crane method, [36] Moynihan method, [37] Achar method, [38,39] Coats-Redfern method, [20] Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan (MKN) method, [40] and Borchardt-Daniels method [41] have also been developed to determine kinetic parameters. For some reactions, such as the crystallization with random nucleation, some modifications are necessary to these kinetic methods.…”

“…Thus, the Friedman method could be considered as the best one among these four methods to determine the kinetic parameters for the pyrolysis of biomass. [49] Other kinetic methods, such as Achar [38,39] and Coats-Redfern methods , [20] have also been developed to determine kinetic parameters for thermal decomposition processes. Achar method is a differential form, which is similar as Friedman method and can be presented as:…”

A comparison of TiF3 and NbF5 catalytic effects on hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of a ball-milled Mg85Zn5Ni10 alloy

“…Therefore, many scholars pay attention to hydrogen owing to its high efficiency, environment friendly nature, and renewable characteristics. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] However, the problem that is severely restricting the application of hydrogen is availability of a safe and credible storage mode. [14][15][16] Because of the merits of high gravimetric storage density and safety, many researchers have great expectations from metal hydrides as a hydrogen storage material.…”

Influences of Ni-Co-B catalyst on the thermal decomposition of light-weight NaNH2-NaBH4 hydrogen storage material

“…Recently, some composite hydrogen storage systems have been studied, especially those with light-weight compounds, such as amide-borohydrides. [23][24][25][26][27][28] As one of the most promising prospective light-weight hydrogen storage systems, NaNH 2 -NaBH 4 composites are very attractive for their low cost and good kinetics. 26 But if they are to be used for hydrogen fuel cells, the thermal decomposition kinetics should be improved further.…”
