Parsley-Assisted Co3O4 Catalysts Boost NaBH4 Hydrogen Generation

Parsley-Assisted Co3O4 Catalysts Boost NaBH4 Hydrogen Generation

Researchers report that green-synthesized Co3O4 catalysts, made using parsley extracts, significantly enhance hydrogen generation from sodium borohydride hydrolysis. Tuning the parsley-to-cobalt ratio and calcination temperature increased activity, with optimized samples delivering higher hydrogen generation rates and lower activation energy at 45 °C.
