In this study, hydrogen [H2(g)] production from sodium borohydride (NaBH4) using cobalt (Co) nanoparticles (NPs) was investigated with a hydrolysis process. Optimum experimental conditions were examined at different hydrolysis times (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 min), at different hydrolysis temperatures (25, 35, 45, and 65oC), and at increasing Co NPs nanocatalyst concentrations (5, 15 and 30 mg/l) at pH = 13.0, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analyses were performed for characterization studies. H2(g) measurements were made in gaschromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The maximum 81% H2(g) yield was observed before the hydrolysis process after 90 min, at pH = 13.0, at 25 oC. The maximum H2(g) yields were recorded as 98% after 45 min hydrolysis times at 45 oC, at a pH of 13.0. 99% H2(g) yields were found after 14 min hydrolysis times, at pH a pH of 13.0 at 65 oC. The maximum NaBH4 concentration and using Co NPs concentrations were kept constant at 300 mg/l and 1.5 mg/l, respectively.
