Degradation of cellulose during prolonged exposure in atmospheric conditions has been recognized as one of main problems in preserving cellulose-made products. The purpose of this research was therefore to study effects of borohydride reduction in improving both the color and strength retention of cotton fabrics artificially aged at temperatures ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$. Results indicated that the fabrics treated with either sodium or tetramethylammonium borohydrides (TMA) were degraded at rates about one-half that of water-washed cotton. These results were consistent over the temperature range. Calculation of the activation energy (Ea) by different methods showed $Ea\;=\;25.5{\pm}\;1.5\;Kcal$, in keeping with measurements made by others at lower temperatures. The TMA-treatment was effective in minimizing discoloration of the fabrics with pre-baking, but not of the un-prebaked fabrics.

This study investigated the cathode catalyst of direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells for space exploration. Various catalysts such as Au, Ag, and Ni were supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Various techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the catalysts. Fuel cell tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the catalysts. Ag/MWCNTs exhibited better catalytic activity than the Ni/MWCNTs and better catalytic selectivity of the Au/MWCNTs. Ag/MWCNTs presented good catalytic activity and selectivity even at an elevated operating temperature. The performance of Ag/MWCNTs was also stable for up to 60 minutes.

α-Linked D-altropyranosidic derivatives were obtained by configurational change at C-3 of α-D-mannopyranosides as the key step in preparation of allyl and methyl α-D-glycopyranosides of 6-deoxy-D-altro-heptose. The manno-altro conversion was effected by sequential reactions of Swern oxidation and stereoselective borohydride reduction. Allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-O-p-methoxybenzyl-α-D-mannopyranoside was transformed to the corresponding altropyranoside via 3-oxo-arabino-hexopyranoside. Allyl 7-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-α-D-altro-heptopyranoside has been prepared as a glycosyl acceptor to be coupled with β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-α-D-Galp glycosyl donor for the synthesis of an O-antigen repeating unit of Campylobacter jejuni serotypes O:23 and O:36. Stereoselective borohydride reduction also succeeded in yielding methyl 2,4,7-tri-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-α-D-altro-heptopyranoside from the corresponding 3-oxo-α-D-arabino-heptopyranoside. C-6 Homologation was achieved by sequential reactions of cyanide displacement of 6-sulphonates, reduction of the resulting heptopyranosidurononitrile with diisobutylaluminum hydride, hydrolysis of the imine, and further reduction with sodium borohydride.

Sodium borohydride($NaBH_4$) known as the material of hydrogen generation and storage can produce the hydrogen via catalytic hydrolysis. This protide chemical could be used in the hydrogen supply system for residential and mobile fuel cells, and thus many researches and developments regarding to these chemicals and decomposition reactions have been implemented. We experimented the hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$ alkaline solution by metal oxide-supported PGM(platinum group metal) catalysts and measured the generation rate of hydrogen which is product of decomposition reaction. We compared oxides as catalyst supports, and the precious metals, Pt and Ru for the catalysts and studied the effects of amounts of catalyst added and $NaBH_4$ concentrations on the hydrogen generation rates and patterns.

Hydrolysis of sodium borohydride provides a safe and clean approach to hydrogen generation. Having the proper catalytic support for controlling this reaction is therefore a valuable technology. Here we demonstrate the capability of hydroxyapatite as a novel catalytic support material for hydrogen generation. Aside from being inexpensive and durable, we reveal that Ru ion exchange on the HAP surface provides a highly active support for sodium borohydride hydrolysis, exemplifying a high total turnover number of nearly 24,000 mol $H_2$/ mol Ru. Moreover, we observe that the RuHAP support exhibits a high catalytic lifetime of approximately one month upon repeated exposure to $NaBH_4$ solutions. In addition to examining surface area effects, we also identified the role of complex surface morphology in enhancing hydrolysis by the catalytic transition metal covered surface. Particularly, we found that a polycrystalline RuHAP catalytic support exhibits shorter induction times for the initial bubble formation as well as increased hydrogen generation rates as compared to a single crystal supports. The independent factor of a complex surface morphology is believed to provide enhanced sites for gas release during the initial stages of the reaction. By demonstrating the ability to shorten induction time and enhance catalytic activity through changes in surface morphology and Ru content, we find it feasible to further explore this catalyst support in the construction of a practical hydrogen generator.

본 연구는 Chemical hydride 형태의 수소발생제를 포함한 액체연료를 이용한 신개념의 알칼라인 연료전지의 특성을 분석하였다. Chemical hydride는 연료전지의 수소공급원으로써 사용될 수 있으며, 본 연구팀은 KOH 전해질에 수소발생제인 Sodium Borohydride ($NaBH_4$)를 첨가하여 제조된 액체연료를 알칼라인 연료전지에 공급함으서 상온에서 매운 우수한 전기 화학적 성능결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이때 음극 찰물질로 $ZrCr_{0.8}Ni_{1.2}$ 수소저장합금이 사용되었으며, 양극은 방수처리된 카본지 위에 분산된 Pt/C 가 사용되었고, air가 latm으로 양극에 공급되었다. 음극에 대한 XRD 분석결과 음극에서의 산화에 의해 Sodium Borohydride ($NaBH_4$)가 분해되어 수소가 발생되며, 연속적으로 액체연료가 주입되어도 전지가 작동하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이때 에너지밀도는 6,000 Ah/kg (for $NaBH_4$ or $KBH_4$)이다.
