Background technology
Used as a kind of novel energy, its development receives everybody and greatly pays close attention to hydrogen, and especially hydrogen is in fuel cell
The application of aspect, the even more life to everybody bring very big convenience.But the storage of hydrogen is restriction fuel cell technology
A wide variety of important technology bottleneck.Therefore develop efficient, inexpensive portable hydrogen technology of preparing to fire for promoting
The extensively application of material battery is significant.
For meeting the application demand of portable fuel battery, corresponding original position hydrogen producing technology requires that raw material has higher product hydrogen
Capacity, simultaneous hydrogen production reaction need fast and easy.Using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) hydrolysis quickly and easily can prepare
Go out hydrogen:
NaBH4+4H2O→NaBO2·2H2O+4H2
The hydrogen of release for solid reactant weight 20.8%, is ideal hydrogen production reaction.Therefore NaBH is directed to4
Hydrolytic hydrogen production people conduct extensive research.
NaBH4The greatest problem that hydrolytic hydrogen production faces is NaBH4Very incomplete with water direct reaction, NaBH4Hydrolysis can make molten
Liquid pH value raise, and in alkaline solution NaBH4Can exist with quite stable.In order to solve this problem, common practice
It is to promote NaBH using catalyst4Hydrolysis, custom catalystses include receiving containing transition metals such as Ni, Co, Pt, Ru
Scale particles, such as, in document Journal of Power Sources 125 (2004) 22 26, Kojima et al. is reported
One utilizes NaBH4The device for producing hydrogen of solution, using Pt/LiCoO2NaBH realized by catalyst4The properties of solution, patent
CN104888853-A (publication date 2015.09.09) is using the Ru nano-particle catalysis NaBH being supported on graphene sheet layer4Water
Liberation hydrogen, patent CN104056638-A (publication date 2014.09.24) is using the metal foams such as Ni, Ru catalysis NaBH4Hydrolysis is put
Hydrogen.Similar report has a lot, and its feature is all by NaBH4Solution is configured to NaOH, these nano-particle is supported on solid
On fixed bed reactor, work as NaBH4Hydrogen is released with catalyst by when aqueous solution is contacted.
Although this method can effectively facilitate the releasing of hydrogen, shortcoming is it is also obvious that be mainly manifested in:(1) need
Will first by NaBH4Wiring solution-forming is stored, and is carried and using inconvenience, is caused capacitance loss, the experimental results to show, NaBH4Solution
Concentration is between 10~20%, and needs to add NaOH to make NaBH4Stable (referring to Review literature Fuel Cells, 10
, 335 (2010)~350).(2) transition-metal catalyst is relatively costly, while loss, inactivation occurs during the course of the reaction
Etc. phenomenon.
Although there is the report for promoting preparing hydrogen by sodium borohydride hydrolysis reaction using acid solution before this, hydrogen production efficiency is not
High, it is impossible to be applied in actual production.
In view of this, the special proposition present invention.
Content of the invention
In order to solve traditional transition metal-catalyzed NaBH4The above-mentioned deficiency of aqueous solution hydrogen manufacturing scheme, the invention provides
