Ultrasmall cobalt nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanowires for hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane

Abstract

Design and fabrication of stable and coordinated composite nanoarchitectures seem particularly essential for enhancing the catalytic activity and reusability of catalysts. Herein, we report the preparation of cobalt nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanowires (Co/NPCNW) and their remarkable catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB).
