Waste-biomass-derived activated carbon supported Co–Cu–P nanocatalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane

Abstract

Biomass activated carbon was prepared using waste ginkgo leaves and then used as a support material for a Co0.8Cu0.2P nanocatalyst, and the obtained catalyst presents excellent performance for ammonia borane hydrolysis to generate hydrogen.

Hydrogen production from chemical hydrogen storage materials over copper‐based catalysts

“…Compared to monometallic catalysts, bimetallic catalysts exhibit more satisfactory catalytic performance both in terms of the activity and stability, which is due to the synergistic effects including the geometrical changes and electronic transfer between Cu and other transition metals, which can effectively suppress the aggregation of Cu NPs and enhance its catalytic activity. Up to date, a series of Cu-based noble and non-noble bimetallic catalysts such as CuRu, [192][193][194] CuPd, 165,[195][196][197] CuPt, [198][199][200] CuRh, 201 CuCo, [202][203][204][205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216] CuFe, 217 and CuNi [218][219][220][221] have been tested in the hydrolysis of AB. 3.2.1 | CuM (M: Noble metal) bimetallic catalysts Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) with wide sources, high stability, and diverse structures has attracted the attention of researchers.…”

Hydrophilic amorphous Cr2O3 supported Co species toward efficient hydrogen production from ammonia borane under visible light irradiation

“…4,5 The hydrolysis of NH 3 BH 3 (NH 3 BH 3 + 2H 2 O / NH 4 BO 2 + 3H 2 ) is considered a promising strategy to generate H 2 due to the mild reaction conditions. 6,7 Supported heterogeneous catalysts play an important role in accelerating the reaction rate. [8][9][10] Various metal based catalysts including precious and nonprecious metals have been employed for hydrolysis of NH 3 BH 3 .…”
