摘要
This paper reports on a hydrogen storage material of poly(methyl acrylate) and methylamine borane (PMA/MeAB) composite, which is synthesized by a simple solution-blending process at room temperature. The thermal decomposition process of the as-prepared composite is investigated by temperature programmed desorption/mass spectrometer (TPD/MS), thermogravimetry (TG) measurements and water displacement method. It is found that PMA/MeAB100 (100聽mg PMA with 100聽mg MeAB) starts to release H2 at the temperature of 90.5聽掳C with the dehydrogenation peak centered at 120.7聽掳C. This is about 20聽掳C lower than that of neat MeAB. Meanwhile, the evaporation of MeAB and the volatile byproducts from the dehydrogenation stage of PMA/MeAB100 are also suppressed. The present result shows that the dehydrogenation property of MeAB is enhanced by using PMA/MeAB composite.
