Ni-Ru@PVP nanoparticles have easily been synthesized by simultaneous reduction of suitable water-soluble nickel and ruthenium salts in the mixture of water/ethanol by a modified method of alcohol reduction with PVP as both reducing agent and stabilizer. They have been characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. They have been detected to be highly efficient and durable catalysts to liberate hydrogen from ammonia borane via hydrolysis under ambient conditions. Among prepared catalysts, Ni0.5Ru0.5@PVP nanoparticles provided mean turnover frequency (TOF) of 300 min(-1)and activation energy of 46.8 +/- 1.2 kJ mol(-1)in this hydrolysis reaction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNickelRutheniumHydrogenHydrolysisAmmonia BoraneHydrogen Generation From Ammonia Borane by Niru Nanoparticles CatalystsArticle519Q3Q211771185WOS:000569051600001
