Article Synopsis
- Hydrazine borane (NHBH, HB) is a hydrogen-rich compound with potential as an effective hydrogen storage material, but it loses about 30% of its weight during pyrolysis at normal pressure due to hydrazine release.
- By applying high pressure, researchers can improve the decomposition of solid HB, achieving over 95% hydrogen atomic utilization and reducing the production of unwanted hydrazine.
- Advanced analytical techniques and theoretical computations suggest that high pressure enhances bonding interactions, making HB a promising hydrogen source for applications like synthesizing superconductors.
The strong ligand effect in B-doped Pd-based (PdB) catalysts renders them a promising anode for constructing formic acid fuel cells (FAFCs) exhibiting high power density and outstanding stability. However, the enhancement of the oxidation barrier is unavoidable in this alloy system owing to the electron transfer (ET) from B to Pd. In this study, a hydrogen doping strategy is employed to open charge freedom in PdB compounds and boost their formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) activity by suppressing the ET process.
