The mechanism of fast hydrogen generation from pure water using selectively activated Al-SnCl sub(2) composites was elucidated with the help of experimental data using combined XRD, SEM, EDX, DSC and calorimetric techniques. It is found that H sub(2) is produced from two different but simultaneous r...
