Abstract

RhNiB nanoparticles with sodium hydroxide dependent boron content are highly efficient catalysts for the decomposition of hydrous hydrazine at room temperature including 100% H2 selectivity and exceptionally high catalytic kinetics, which are derived from the synergistic effect of boron doping and alkali promotion. These encouraging results will promote the practical application of hydrous hydrazine for chemical hydrogen storage.
