Adipic acid solutions were prepared with methanol and ethanol at concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 M. In these reactions, NaBH4-MR (methanolysis) and NaBH4-ER (ethanolysis) reactions were carried out at 30, 40, and 50 \u00b0C with NaBH4 concentrations of 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5%. Hydrolysis reactions (NaBH4-HR) were conducted at 0.1 M under the same conditions. In the ethanolysis and methanolysis reactions at 30 \u00b0C, total hydrogen conversion was achieved at 0.3 M, 0.4 M, and 0.5 M. However, in the hydrolysis reactions, total hydrogen production was only obtained at 50 \u00b0C. It was observed that in the NaBH4-MR and NaBH4-ER reactions, total hydrogen conversion could be achieved within 4\u20135 s. The utilization of adipic acid as a catalyst for hydrogen production from NaBH4 through ethanolysis and methanolysis reactions is proposed as a highly efficient and fast method, characterized by impressive conversion rates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29204893","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]],"date-time":"2024-10-21T07:28:35Z","timestamp":1729495715000},"page":"4893","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["High-Efficiency and Fast Hydrogen Production from Sodium Borohydride: The Role of Adipic Acid in Hydrolysis, Methanolysis and Ethanolysis Reactions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1149-4371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Savas","family":"Gurdal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Technology Research and Application Center, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 17020 Canakkale, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1700161","DOI":"10.1002\/adsu.201700161","article-title":"Formic acid-based liquid organic hydrogen carrier system with heterogeneous catalysts","volume":"2","author":"Zhong","year":"2018","journal-title":"Adv.
