Abstract

The CoP nanoparticle catalyst had excellent catalytic activity and a short catalytic induction period in the presence of anions, and high sustainability in ammonia borane hydrolysis, with an initial turnover frequency of 72.2 mol_(H₂) mol_(CoP)⁻¹ min⁻¹ at ambient temperature. This value is unprecedented for noble-metal-free catalytic systems.
