Global warming has been a serious problem due to excessive emissions of carbon dioxide from the increase of energy consumption. The present study investigates an energy generation mechanism that does not produce carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. A reaction mechanism including sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide has been introduced and as a result, thermal energy can be generated from combustion of hydrogen with oxygen. Sodium borohydride dissolved in water reacting with liquid hydrogen peroxide may reveal maximum adiabatic reaction temperature of 1795 K at a mixture ratio of 0.89.

Sodium borohydride, $NaBH_4$, shows a number of advantages as hydrogen source for portable proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The durability of Co-P-B/Cu catalyst for sodium borohydride hydrolysis reaction was studied. The effect of reaction temperature, $NaBH_4$ concentration, NaOH concentration and calcination temperature of catalyst on the durability of Co-P-B/Cu catalyst were measured. The gel formed during hydrolysis reaction affected the durability of catalyst (loss of catalyst). Formation of gel increased the loss of the catalyst. When $NaBH_4$ concentration was high and reaction temperature was higher than $60^{\circ}C$, loss of catalyst was low because gel was not formed. But under the temperature of $40^{\circ}C$, loss of catalyst increased due to gel formation When $NaBH_4$ concentration was 40 weight % and the reaction temperature was $40^{\circ}C$, the loss of catalyst increased as the NaOH concentration increased. As the calcination temperature of catalyst decreased, the loss of catalyst decreased and the activity of catalyst decreased. Calcination of the catalyst at high temperature enhanced the durability of catalyst but diminished the activity of catalyst.

Sodium borohydride, $NaBH_4$, shows a number of advantages as hydrogen source for portable proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The hydrogen yield of sodium borohydride hydrolysis reaction was studied. The effect of temperature, $NaBH_4$ concentration, NaOH concentration and catalyst type on the hydrogen yield from $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction were measured. The catalysts of Co-P/Cu, Co-B/Cu and Co-P-B/Cu were used in this study and there was no different effect of these catalysts on the hydrogen yield from $NaBH_4$. Under the temperature of $60^{\circ}C$, the hydrogen yield decreased as $NaBH_4$ concentration increased due to formation of gel with by-products and reactants. The gel formed during $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction diminished the hydrogen evolution rate and total volume of hydrogen. Addition of NaOH stabilizer enhanced the formation of gel and then decreased the hydrogen yield.

The studies on the carotenoids in the viscera the brine shrimp(Penaeus Orientalis Kishinouye) have been carried out. The brine shrimps were caught around the western coastal area of Korea from Aug. to Oct. The individual carotenoids in the acetone extracts were separated and purified by the silica gel TLC. Two isolated carotenoids were investigated and identified by epoxide test, partition test, alkaline hydrolysis, reduction with sodium borohydride and visible absorption spectrophqtometry. As the results of the series of experiments, esterified Astaxanthin was discovered as one of main pigments of Penaeus Orientalis Kishinouye.

최근에 cobalt-phosphate는 물을 분해하는 전기화학적 촉매로서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 우리는 간단히 염기의 양을 조절함으로서 cobalt-phosphate의 형태를 제어하였다. 염기의 양이 증가함에 따라 두께가 10 nm 이하의 얇고 입자 작은 판 모양에서 점점 두껍고 큰 판의 모양으로 변해감을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이들을 sodium-borohydride를 이용한 수소 발생실험의 촉매로 사용하였을 때 두께가 10 nm 이하의 입자가 작은 판 모양에서 높은 촉매 활성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

DMSO-oxalyl chloride at low temperature in methylene chloride reacted with isolated secondary hydroxyl groups in some monosaccharides to give alkoxysulfonium salts, convertible to carbonyls in high yields upon addition of triethylamine. And 1, 2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-.alpha.- D-allofuranose which is the key intermediate in the synthesis of 3-O-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl- 2-deoxy-2- fluoro-D-arabinofuranosyl bromide, was also obtained by oxidizing 1, 2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-.alpha.- D-glucofuranose with the oxidizing reagent, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride.

A new convenient method for the reduction of carboxylic acids to the corresponding alcohols via acyloxyborohydrides was explored. Acyloxyborohydrides, prepared from the reaction of various carboxylic acids and sodium borohydride, underwent reduction to the corresponding alcohols readily by the addition of dimethyl sulfate or Lewis acids, such as boron trifluoride etherate and triphenyl borate, presumably through acyloxyboranes. By utilizing this procedure, aliphatic and aromatic acids are rapidly and quantitatively reduced to the corresponding alcohols in terahydrofuran either at room temperature (or at $65^{\circ}$). This procedure provides selective reduction of carboxylic acids in the presence of halogen, nitro, and heterocyclic rings such as furan and thiophene.
