Hydrogen generation from catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride by a Cu and Mo promoted Co catalyst

Catalytic hydrolysis of chemical hydrides with the use of NaBH4 is a safe and effective way to provide hydrogen fuel for new energy vehicles and portable electronic devices. Herein we developed a Cu and Mo promoted Co hierarchical composites (Co1−xCuxMoO4) for hydrolysis of NaBH4 via an easy synthesis route. FESEM analysis depicts that the morphology of Co1−xCuxMoO4 hierarchical composites varied significantly from irregular microsphere to...
