Organic Catalyst for Higher Rate of Hydrogen Generation & Efficient Solid-State Storage

Higher rate of hydrogen generation Safe and effective hydrogen storage On-board and on-demand usefulness Supports environmentally sustainable fuel

Hydrogen-fueled applications

A method using the organic pigment catalyst, the critical aspect of this technology, calls for immersing the catalyst in borohydride solution for a controllable rate of on-board hydrogen gas generation for fuel cells or combustion engines, primarily in vehicles. These catalysts accelerate the reaction by acting as an oxidizing agent toward the borohydride ion and a reducing agent of the production of hydrogen. With this type of catalyst, H2 generation from a borohydride solution can be accomplished with readily available materials, versatility, reliability, and accuracy. The new way of hydrogen release enables accurate and economical material and fuel consumption.
