Complete hydrogen release from aqueous ammonia-borane over a platinum-loaded titanium dioxide photocatalyst†
Abstract
Complete H2 release from ammonia-borane (NH3BH3, AB) in water was achieved by using platinum-loaded TiO2 (Pt/TiO2) via two consecutive reaction steps, i.e., hydrolysis of AB and photocatalytic decomposition of thus formed NH3 in water, under inert conditions at 298 K.
