Crystal facet effects of platinum single-atom catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane†
Abstract
The Pt1/Co3O4-c catalysts exhibit great catalytic activities in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) with a specific rate of 6035 molH2 molPt−1 min−1 at room temperature. In situ DRIFTS spectra and theoretical calculations illustrate the chemisorption form of H3N–BH3⋯Pt1/Co3O4-c due to the electron depletion of single-atomic Pt species tailoring by supports.
