Abstract

In this study, the Cu–Mo–B catalyst in nanostructure was successfully synthesized with the chemical reduction method of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The categorization of the attained Cu–Mo–B nano-catalyst was examined with XRD, BET, SEM, and EDS analytical methods. As a result of the ammonium borane hydrolysis of this attained catalyst, the most convenient Mo/Co ratio, NaOH impact, the impact of different catalyst amounts, and the impact of different ammonium borane concentrations on ammonium boron hydride hydrolysis were examined. In addition, hydrolysis was examined at different temperatures, and the degree and activation energy of the reaction were determined. At 333 K with the ammonium borane (AB) hydrolysis of Cu–Mo–B nanoparticles, the maximum hydrogen production rate and activation energy were found to be 4075 mL min−1gcat−1 and 21.37 kJ mol–1, respectively. In this context, Cu–Mo–B catalyst can be used in practical fuel cells since it is obtained economically and easily.
