Abstract

Utilization of nonprecious metals to replace precious metals in the catalytic hydrolysis of hydrogen storage materials causes wide attention. Herein, nonprecious bimetallic nanoparticles loaded on N-doped graphene quantum dots (Co-Ni/N-GQDs) have been synthesized and applied in the hydrolysis of NH₃BH₃ for the first time. It is demonstrated that Co-Ni/N-GQDs exhibit the obvious bimetallic synergies in the hydrolysis of NH₃BH₃, and the total turnover frequency (TOF) value reaches 19.94mol $_{H2} \cdot$ $_{H2} \cdot$ mol $_{Cat}^{- 1} \cdot$ $_{Cat}^{- 1} \cdot$ min $^{- 1}$ $^{- 1}$ via the optimized design. This work first explored the catalytic performance for the nonprecious bimetallic nanoparticles loaded on N-GQDs in the hydrolysis of NH₃BH₃, greatly facilitating the development of both nonprecious metals and N-GQDs in the hydrogen evolution.
