A high activity Al?Bi@C for hydrogen generation from Al-water reaction

A high activity carbon-loaded Bi ([email protected]) is synthesized by carbonizing a home-made Bi metal coordination compound. The results show that [email protected] effectively catalyzes the Al?H2O reaction. Al?[email protected] composites are prepared by ball milling (named as Al?[email protected]milled) or ball milling and spark plasma sintering (SPS) (named as Al?[email protected]SPS). It can be found that the Al?[email protected]SPS obtained by sintered Al?[email protected]milled is converted from a powder to a block, which is beneficial for its practical application. Furthermore, the hydrogen generation performance of Al?[email protected]SPS is superior to that of Al?[email protected]milled. Such as the hydrogen yield of Al-5 wt% [email protected]SPS is higher than that of Al-5 wt% [email protected]milled (1292.0?mL?g?1 vs 463.8?mL?g?1), and Al-5 wt% [email protected]SPS also exhibits an excellent antioxidant ability. These results demonstrate that the SPS process is beneficial. The improvement mechanism of SPS on Al?[email protected] composites is studied by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS and TEM. The fabricated Al?[email protected]SPS is expected to have practical application in the field of hydrogen supply.
