The effect of Fe content in electroless-deposited CoNi-Fex-P alloy catalysts (x = 5.5–11.8 at.%) from the hydrolysis of NaBH4 is investigated in alkaline sodium borohydride solution. The electroless-deposited CoNiFe5.5-P and CoNiFe7.6-P alloy catalysts are composed of flake-like micron particles; however, with an increase in Fe content to 11.8 at.%, the flake-like morphology is changed to a spherical shape and the crystal structure of the electroless-deposited CoNiFeP catalyst is transformed from FCC to BCC. Among all the CoNi-Fex-P alloy catalysts, the CoNi-Fex-P (x = 7.6 at.%) catalyst has the highest hydrogen production rate of 1128 ml min−1 g−1catalyst in alkaline solution containing 1 wt% NaOH + 10 wt% NaBH4 at 303 K. For the optimized catalyst, the activation energy of the hydrolysis of NaBH4 is calculated to be 54.26 kJ mol−1. Additionally, in this work, we report a new hydrolysis using Mg(BH4)2 and Ca(BH4)2. As a result, the Mg(BH4)2 is stored unstably in an alkaline solution, whereas the Ca(BH4)2 is stored stably. When optimizing the hydrogen production kinetics from the hydrolysis of Ca(BH4)2, the rate is 784 ml min−1 g−1catalyst in 10 wt% NaOH + 3 wt% Ca(BH4)2 solution.
