Herein, we report that TiO 2 supported ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru(0)/TiO 2 ) during the hydrolysis of starting with RuCl 3 /TiO 2 precatalyst, which act as highly active, long-lived and reusable nanocatalyst in the hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane (NH 3 BH 3 ) at room temperature. The resulting Ru(0)/TiO 2 catalyze hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) value of 200 min −1 at 25 ± 0.1 °C. More importantly, Ru(0)/TiO 2 are stable enough to be isolated and bottled as solid material, which can be reused as active catalyst under the identical conditions of the first run.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
