Method for generating hydrogen by hydrolyzing lithium borohydride and reacting device used for method

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for generating hydrogen by hydrolyzing lithium borohydride and a device used for the method. The method comprises the following steps of: dissolving lithium borohydride in an organic solvent which can not be adsorbed on a proton exchange membrane or a fuel cell membrane to obtain an organic saturated solution or an organic suspension, and filling liquid water to regulate the concentration of lithium borohydride so as to realize the regulation of the speed of releasing hydrogen in reaction until the content of theoretical hydrogen in lithium borohydride is completely released finally. The device comprises a liquid water storage room (1), a water feeding capillary (2), a hydrolysis reaction room (3), a gas feedback pipeline (5) and a port (4) which is butted with the fuel cell, wherein one end of the water feeding capillary (2) is communicated with the liquid water storage room (1), and the other end of the water feeding capillary (2) is arranged in the hydrolysis reaction room (3); and one end of the gas feedback pipeline (5) is inserted in the liquid water of the liquid water storage room (1), and the other end of the water feeding capillary (2) is communicated with the hydrolysis reaction room (3). The method is high in hydrogen release efficiency and stable and controllable in hydrogen release process.
