Abstract

Abstract : Ultrafine NiRu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully immobilized on MIL‐101 for the first time by the double‐solvent method combined with the overwhelming reduction approach. The NPs were fully characterized by transmission electron microscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The MIL‐101‐immobilized NiRu alloy NPs exhibited much higher catalytic activity toward the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane than the pure NiRu alloy NPs and Ni@Ru core–shell NPs. Abstract : Ultrafine NiRu alloy nanoparticles are successfully immobilized in the pores of MIL‐101 by the double‐solvent method combined with the overwhelming reduction approach. The immobilized nanoparticles show high catalytic performance towards the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.
