Abstract

Abstract

Ammonia borane (NH₃BH₃, AB) is an ideal feedstock for hydrogen production with high hydrogen storage capacity. In this paper, a nitrogen-containing carbon material (Ni_0.6Cu_0.4O/NC) catalyst was prepared by high-temperature carbonization of Ni/Cu-ZIF precursor under nitrogen atmosphere, and the microstructure as well as the composition of the prepared catalyst were investigated by various characterization methods. In addition, the catalytic performance of the catalyst and the variation rule were investigated by the controlled variable method. The results showed that the activation energy (E_a) of Ni_0.6Cu_0.4O/NC catalyzed hydrolysis of AB for hydrogen production was 56.8 kJ∙mol⁻¹, and the TOF value was as high as 1572.2 h⁻¹. The rate of hydrogen production from AB hydrolysis catalyzed by this catalyst could be approximated as a zero-order reaction with respect to the concentration of AB itself, and a one-order reaction with respect to the amount of catalyst. The catalyst still maintained good catalytic activity after ten cycles, indicating its good stability.
