Abstract: | Ammonia-borane is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen carriers. A series of Ni- and Co-based bimetallic catalysts supported on SiO2 (Ni-M/SiO2 and Co-M/SiO2; M = Ga, Ge, Sn, Zn) was prepared and tested as catalysts for hydrogen production from ammonia-borane (AB) in water or methanol. Ni-Zn/SiO2 and Co-Ge/SiO2 exhibited catalytic activities much higher than those of monometallic Ni/SiO2 and Co/SiO2, respectively. Ni-Zn/SiO2 showed a high catalytic activity when water was used as a solvent, where the reaction was completed within 6 min at room temperature with a specific reaction rate of 4.3 ml min(-1) mmol-cat(-1) mM-AB(-1). To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest value among those reported using 3d metal-based catalysts. Co-Ge/SiO2 afforded a five-fold higher reaction rate than that of the corresponding monometallic Co/SiO2. XRD, TEM, and HAADF-STEM-EDS analyses revealed that Ni0.75Zn0.25 and Co0.8Ge0.2 solid-solution alloys were formed with high phase purities. An XPS study showed that Co atoms in Co0.8Ge0.2 were electron-enriched due to electron transfer from Ge to Co, which may be the origin of the improved catalytic activity. |
