Cobalt-Boron oxides containing catalyst CoO·B₂O₃ (CoB₂O₄) are synthesized for hydrogen generation by catalytic reforming of basic solution of sodium hypophosphite (NaH₂PO₂) and identified by chemical and X-ray analysis. Reforming is performed in temperature range of 30°C - 80°C. Reaction rate constants at each value of temperature (k^30°C = 8.53 × 10^?4 s^?1; k^40°C = 1.62 × 10^?4 s^??; k^50°C = 3.06 × 10^?3 s^?1; k^60°C = 5.06 × 10^?3 s^?1; k^80°C = 1.39 × 10^?2 s^?1), temperature coefficient of rate of chemical reaction (γ = 0.917) and activation energy (E_A = 49.59 kJ·mol^?1) are calculated.
