Abstract:The effects of preparation methods, supports and active parts on both the activation and stability of catalyst for the sodium borohydride hydrolysis were studied, and the results showed that the activation and stability of the catalysts prepared by impregnation method is better than that prepared by chemical plating. Compared to exchange resin and activated alumina, the diatomite with high BET surface area and porosity is more suitable for as the catalyst's support. Co is much better than Ni when used as catalytic active part.
