I’ve talked a handful of times in the past about using a chemical carrier for hydrogen such as ammonia borane (AB) as perhaps an easier method in which to build an infrastructure around and get the needed H2 gas to fuel cells. Apparently a group of researchers at USC in California had the same thought • Read More »

I’ve talked about using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier for hydrogen about a half a dozen times in the past. Now, two universities have made discoveries and innovations that involve ammonia borane as a way to deliver hydrogen on demand. Take for instance the researchers at the University of Alabama who have teamed up • Read More »

My most recent post about using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier of hydrogen for fuel cells was posted in September 2009. In fact, I’ve talked about the possibility of using ammonia borane several other times in the past as well. On of the disadvantages of using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier of hydrogen • Read More »

A year and a half ago I talked about how ammonia borane (H3NBH3) was being looked at as a hydrogen-rich chemical carrier for fuel cell applications. This week, small portable fuel cell maker Jadoo Power Systems was given a contract by the U. S. Air Force to develop ammonia borane pellets for hydrogen generation. Using • Read More »

I’ve talked many times about either using ammonia or aluminum compounds as a chemical carrier for hydrogen and large scale production of H2 gas. Now scientists in separate facilities are excited about their findings in both of these areas. Researchers at the DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have discovered that combining ammonia borane (H3NBH3), • Read More »

I’ve talked about the many advantages (and few disadvantages) of using ammonia borane (NH3BH3) in the past as a chemical carrier for hydrogen. Universities all over the world have been working on simple, effective and cheap methods to turn ammonia borane into hydrogen gas. Now, student researchers from the University of Trento, Italy and the • Read More »

Chemists at the University of Oregon have come up with a combination of elements that may serve to be the fuel of the future. Using boron and nitrogen as chemical carriers for hydrogen the liquid that the researchers have developed is safe and stable at room temperature and it is also stable in regard to • Read More »

I’ve talked about the merits of using ammonia borane several times in the past as a hydrogen-rich chemical compound that may one day be used to refuel H2 cars. Now, a company called Cella Energy is using ammonia borane (NH3BH3) plus a process called coaxial electrospinning or electrospraying to either supply pure hydrogen to fuel • Read More »
