Hydrogen generation using a ball-milled Al/Ni/NaCl mixture

Recently, the aluminum–water reaction has attracted the attention because it is a convenient method for producing on-board hydrogen for a fuel cell. This work is a study of the effect of the Ni/Al ratio, NaCl content and reaction medium on hydrogen generation using the aluminum-water reaction. The induction time is clearly reduced and the hydrogen generation in water is improved by varying the Ni/Al ratio. Increasing NaCl content slightly...
