Abstract:
Supported catalyst methods are provided to promote hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of boron hydrides. The methods use a supported catalyst which is a supported metallic mixture comprising a first transition metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, titanium, tin, cadmium, and iridium, in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight, and a second metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, titanium, tin, cadmium, boron, and iridium, in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 25% by weight of the supported catalyst.
