In: Proceedings International Workshop,Advances in Fuel Cells and the Hydrogen Economy, Polo Tecnológico, Lumiar, 15 Fev. 2008, Lisboa, Portugal, p. 37-38http://hdl.handle.net/10400.9/758In this work, hydrogen is produced by a hydrolysis process that uses sodium borohydride as a hydrogen carrier and storage media. High purity hydrogen is obtained at low temperatures with high volumetric and gravimetric storage efficiencies; reaction products are non-toxic. The produced hydrogen can be supply on-demand at specified flow by tailor made developed catalyst. Hydrogen feeding to a low power fuel cell was accomplished. According to experimental conditions conversion rates of 100% are possible. Catalyst is demonstrated to be reusable.engFuel cellsChemical hydridesSodium borohydrideProduction of hydrogenconference object
