Catalytic effect and reaction mechanism of Ti doped in NaAlH4: A review

Catalytic effect and hydrogen reaction mechanism of Ti doped in NaAlH4 were elaborated in this paper, and current viewpoints about Ti active species in hydrogen reaction were discussed. In a further step, the possibility and practicality of the hydrogen reaction mechanism of Ti-doped NaAlH4 were elucidated. They could be summarized as follows: while the current theory about the hydrogen reaction mechanism of Ti-doped NaAlH4 should be further improved and modified, the research on Ti-doped NaAlH4 would be a recommendable pattern for the catalyst research in other metal complex hydrides.
