NaBH4 (sodium borohydride) for solid-state green hydrogen export

R&D Focus Areas:
Hydrides, Energy systems integration

Lead Organisation:
Curtin University

Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC

Status:
Active

Start date:
May 2022

Project summary description:
The aim of this PhD project is to investigate new methods of regenerating NaBH4 after undergoing hydrolysis or methanolysis. Another aim is to use NaBH4 hydrolysis as a chemical hydrogen compression method to reach pressures suitable for refuelling hydrogen vehicles.
