Global reduction of traditional fuel sources such as natural gases, coal, and petroleum has
led researchers to seek prominent and beneficial energy conversion devices. Fuel cells are …

Abstract Ammonia borane H 3 Nsingle bondBH 3, first reported in 1955, is isoelectronic with
ethane H 3 Csingle bondCH 3, but it has much different properties owing to (i) the nitrogen …

In a time of unprecedented change in environmental, geopolitical and socio-economic world
affairs, the search for new energy materials has become a topic of great relevance. Sodium …

A direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) is a device that converts chemical energy stored in
borohydride ion (BH4−) and an oxidant directly into electricity by redox processes. Usually, a …

Since the late 1990s, sodium borohydride (NaBH4, denoted SB) is presented as a promising
hydrogen storage material and an attractive fuel (aqueous solution) of the direct fuel cell (or …

In this work, an effective design strategy for anion exchange membranes (AEMs)
incorporating ether-bond free and piperidinium cationic groups promote chemical stability. A …

Over the last twenty years, there has been a resurgent research interest in direct
borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs) highlighting the fundamental aspects that need to be …

Galvanic replacement is the spontaneous replacement of surface layers of a metal, M, by a
more noble metal, Mnoble, when the former is treated with a solution containing the latter in …

It is usually believed that carbon‐supported electrocatalysts are stable in alkaline
environment, owing to the better thermodynamics stability of many metals and oxides at high …

Cobalt has been widely used as the main component of catalysts for the hydrolysis of
sodium borohydride NaBH4 and, to a lesser extent, for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane …
