Solid H2/D2 gas generators

摘要

A solid fuel for generating H2 or D2 gases, comprising magnesium borohydride diammoniate (MBDA) or its deuterated analog as the H2 or D2 source, an oxidizer selected from LiNO3 and KNO3, and a binder of polytetrafluoroethylene is a thermally stable gas generator composition which yields greater than 12.5 weight percent H2 or D2. The MBDA weight percentages by weight ranges from 80-90, the oxidizer ranges from 5-15, and the binder ranges from 2-15.
