Highly Dispersed Surfactant‐Free Nickel Nanoparticles and Their Remarkable Catalytic Activity in the Hydrolysis of Ammonia Borane for Hydrogen Generation

Highly active: Surfactant-free Ni nanocatalysts were highly dispersed into the nanoporous carbon support MSC-30 through a dry process, and the obtained Ni@MSC-30 catalyzed the generation of H2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature (see picture). The improvement of the performance of surfactant-free non-noble metal nanocatalysts is a promising step toward the application of NH3BH3 as an applicable chemical hydrogen storage material.
