Pd–Ru nanocatalysts derived from a Pd-induced aerogel for dramatic boosting of hydrogen release†
Abstract
Alloyed bimetallic Pd–Ru nanocatalysts prepared by in situ reduction of a mixture of a Ru(III) source and a Pd(II)@alkyne-PVA aerogel and characterized by TEM and XPS exhibit very highly catalytic activity towards hydrogen release from ammonia borane hydrolysis with a TOF value of 578.2 molH2 molcat−1 min−1.
