Sodium borohydride fuel cells
Sodium borohydride fuel cells
Fuel cells utilizing the direct and indirect oxidation of
borohydride ions have been described. Direct borohydride
fuel cells are inherently more efficient than IBFCs;
the DBFCs can produce energy densities comparable to
those of methanol and oxygen–hydrogen fuel cells. The
DBFC still presents a number of technical challenges
such as borohydride ion crossover and the need for more
selective anode materials and improved anionic membranes.
The IBFCs use the well-studied MEA that is fed
with high-purity hydrogen produced from the efficient
hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. The main problems in
this cell are removal of borohydride oxidation products,
reuse of catalyst, and heat and water management

Abstract
Fuel cells utilizing the direct and indirect oxidation of
borohydride ions have been described. Direct borohydride
fuel cells are inherently more efficient than IBFCs;
the DBFCs can produce energy densities comparable to
those of methanol and oxygen–hydrogen fuel cells. The
DBFC still presents a number of technical challenges
such as borohydride ion crossover and the need for more
selective anode materials and improved anionic membranes.
The IBFCs use the well-studied MEA that is fed
with high-purity hydrogen produced from the efficient
hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. The main problems in
this cell are removal of borohydride oxidation products,
reuse of catalyst, and heat and water management
