Enhanced hydrogen generation from graphite-mixed aluminum hydroxides catalyzed Al/water reaction

The high catalytic effect of a graphite-mixed Al(OH)3 nanoparticles (NPs) for the hydrogen generation from the reaction of Al and water is reported. These graphite-mixed Al(OH)3 NPs were synthesized through a simple solvothermal procedure. Characterization using powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were carried out. The results show that small amounts of graphite...
