TWO STEP NOVEL HYDROGEN SYSTEM USING ADDITIVES TO ENHANCE HYDROGEN RELEASE FROM THE HYDROLYSIS OF ALANE AND ACTIVATED ALUMINUM

摘要

A system for the generation of hydrogen for use in portable power systems is set forth utilizing a two-step process that involves the thermal decomposition of AlH₃ (10 wt % H₂) followed by the hydrolysis of the activated aluminum (Al*) byproduct to release additional H₂.;Additionally, a process in which water is added directly without prior history to the AlH₃:PA composite is also disclosed,
