Ammonia borane (NH 3BH 3, AB), one kind of promising hydrogen storage materials, is hydrolyzed to produce hydrogen in presence of HCl, Co/IR-120 and Ru/IR-120 catalysts. The kinetics analysis of the AB hydrolysis shows that hydrogen production is of the first-order reaction in regard to both concent...
