Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition and method for storage and controlled release of hydrogen. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of borohydride based solutions as a hydrogen storage source and a catalyst system to release hydrogen therefrom.

Claims (6)

1 . A hydrogen generating system comprising:

a reservoir for holding a solution capable of generating hydrogen;

a reaction chamber having a catalyst that, upon contact with said solution, accelerates the generation of hydrogen from said solution and transforms said solution into a spent solution;

a first passageway connecting said reservoir and said reaction chamber and adapted to transport said solution from said reservoir to said reaction chamber; and

a second passageway connecting said reservoir and said reaction chamber and adapted to transport said spent solution to said reservoir whereupon it is added to said solution.
