Abstract :In this study, we studied the ceria supported Ni complex preparation and using it as a catalyst in NaBH4 hydrolysis for H2 production. NaBH4 hydrolysis system was studied in different parameters, as concentration of Ni complex, concentration of NaBH4, concentration of NaOH, amount of catalyst and temperature. Additionally, catalyst was characterized by several analysis methods. Finally, the kinetic calculation of NaBH4 hydrolysis reaction was studied at 20 ℃-50 ℃ the activation energy was found to be 27.581 kJ/mol. The aim of this study is to emphasize that ceria support can be used to increase the catalyst surface and to obtain the high hydrogen generation activity through hydrolysis of NaBH4. The experimental results show that ceria supported Ni complex was an effective catalyst in hydrolysis of NaBH4.Keywords : Ni complex, sodium borohydride, hydrogen generation
