Novel NiPt alloy nanoparticle decorated 2D layered g-C3N4 nanosheets: a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen generation from hydrous hydrazine†
Abstract
Novel NiPt/graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs) have been successfully constructed through a simple and facile wet chemical reduction approach. Interestingly, benefiting from the unique structure of g-C3N4 NSs and their strong interaction with NiPt, Ni0.6Pt0.4/g-C3N4 NSs demonstrate outstanding catalytic activity toward hydrogen generation from hydrous hydrazine, giving 100% H2 selectivity with a high turnover frequency (TOF) value of 2194 h−1 at 323 K.
