- This collaborative work with an overseas university has discovered, for the first time, that conventional ammonium-based salts unexpectedly exhibit excellent catalysis in hydrogen generation from borohydride hydrolysis, one of the most desirable pathways for future hydrogen utilization. The catalytic activities of ammonium-based salts are comparable/superior to those of conventional noble-/transition-metal catalysts (such as Pt) but they are up to 25 thousand times cheaper. The team was awarded the 2nd prize by the Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Committee (2019), and the Chinese partners (Wuhan University of Science and Technology) received new funding (£200K) for further scale-up study with industry.
