Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" id="smll201401875-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A new strategy to pre‐incorporate metal precursors</bold> followed by their in situ reduction is established to prepare tiny core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized by a metal–organic framework (MOF). The obtained Pd@Co core–shell NPs of ∼2.5 nm confined in the pores of a mesoporous MOF, MIL‐101, exhibit synergistic and superior catalytic performance in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of NH₃BH₃ under mild conditions compared to their monometallic and alloy counterparts as well as Pd@Co NPs located on a MOF surface. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh30wcx1tt" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
