摘要
Ferric catalysts have been synthesized from the reactions between pre-infused ferric salts and simultaneous feeding of NaBH4 solution into a H2 generating reactor, and were proved to accelerate the subsequent H2 generation reaction. It is found that there are competitive reactions during H2 generation which lead to the formation of active FeB or inactive Fe(OH)3. Also, the anion (Cl- or NO3-) in the pre-infused ferric salt is crucial to the reaction pathway. The H2 generation route using FeCl3 as the pre-infused ferric salt shows excellent activity, resulting in a high H2 generation efficiency (over 94%) and an average H2 generation rate of 1.08 L/min.
