The release of hydrogen reaction of graphene modified NaAlH4

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2011 Nov;11(11):9993-6. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2011.5321.

Abstract

In this experiment, we prepared a better performance graphene, by using butyrolactone and flavanone, promoting the graphite into high quality graphene strip. The obtained graphene were used to catalyze the hydrogen released by NaAlH4. The result proved that 5 wt% doped butyrolactone treated graphite and 2 wt% doped flavanone-treated graphite are good catalyst in NaAlH4's decomposition process.
