Abstract
Potassium borohydride KBH4 is an attractive chemical hydride for H2 generation and storage in portable fuel cell applications. Nevertheless, the control of the by-products, in terms of stability and solubility in aqueous solutions, is one of the limiting steps of the hydrolysis reaction of H2 release. We report here some physicochemical properties of concentrated KBO2 aqueous solutions: solubility and gravimetric density are measured as function of temperature between 10 to 80°C. The stability of hydrated metaborates KBO2.xH2O solid phases (with x = 4/3 and 4) in alkaline aqueous solutions is also evaluated at 20°C.


Key words: Potassium metaborate -- solubility in water -- phase diagram

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
