Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) has emerged as a promising chemical hydrogen storage material. The development of efficient, stable, and cost-effective catalysts for AB hydrolysis is the key to achieving hydrogen energy economy. Here, cobalt phosphide (CoP) is used to anchor single-atom Pt species, acting as robust catalysts for hydrogen generation from AB hydrolysis. Thanks to the high Pt utilization and the synergy between CoP and Pt species, the optimized Pt/CoP-100 catalyst exhibits an unprecedented hydrogen generation rate, giving a record turnover frequency (TOF) value of 39911mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 mi n - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}{\mathrm{\ mi}}{{{\mathrm{n}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}}$ and turnover number of 2926829mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}$ at room temperature. These metrics surpass those of all existing state-of-the-art supported metal catalysts by an order of magnitude. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the integration of single-atom Pt onto the CoP substrate significantly enhances adsorption and dissociation processes for both water and AB molecules, thereby facilitating hydrogen production from AB hydrolysis. Interestingly, the TOF value is further elevated to 54878mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 mi n - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}{\mathrm{\ mi}}{{{\mathrm{n}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}}$ under UV-vis light irradiation, which can be attributed to the efficient separation and mobility of photogenerated carriers at the Pt-CoP interface. The findings underscore the effectiveness of CoP as a support for single-atom metals in hydrogen production, offering insights for designing high-performance catalysts for chemical hydrogen storage.

Ultrafine Ni-MoO x Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanosheets: A Highly Efficient Noble-Metal-Free Catalyst for Ammonia Borane Hydrolysis. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202400415.

Abstract
The development of low-cost and high-efficiency catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) is still a challenging technology. Herein, ultrafine MoOx-doped Ni nanoparticles (~3.0 nm) were anchored on g-C3N4@glucose-derived nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets via a phosphate-mediated method. The strong adsorption of phosphate-mediated nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (PNCS) for metal ions is a key factor for the preparation of ultrasmall Ni nanoparticles (NPs). Notably, the alkaline environment formed by the reduction of metal ions removes the phosphate from the PNCS surface to generate P-free (P)NCS so that the phosphate does not participate in the subsequent catalytic reaction. The synthesized Ni-MoOx/(P)NCS catalysts exhibited outstanding catalytic properties for the hydrolysis of AB, with a high turnover frequency (TOF) value of up to 85.7 min-1, comparable to the most efficient noble-metal-free catalysts and commercial Pt/C catalyst ever reported for catalytic hydrogen production from AB hydrolysis. The superior performance of Ni-MoOx/(P)NCS can be ascribed to its well-dispersed ultrafine metal NPs, abundant surface basic sites, and electron-rich nickel species induced by strong electronic interactions between Ni-MoOx and (P)NCS. The strategy of combining multiple modification measures adopted in this study provides new insights into the development of economical and high-efficiency noble-metal-free catalysts for energy catalysis applications.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2306893.

Abstract
H2 generation from methanol-water mixtures often requires high pressure and high temperature (200-300 °C). However, CO can be easily generated and poison the catalytic system under such high temperature. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop the efficient catalytic systems for H2 production from methanol at room temperature, even at sub-zero temperatures. Herein, carbon nanotube-supported Pt nanocomposites are designed and synthesized as high-performance nano-catalysts, via stabilization of Pt nanoparticles onto carbon nanotube (CNT), for H2 production upon methanol dehydrogenation at sub-zero temperatures. Therein, the optimal Pt/CNT nanocomposite presents the superior catalytic performance in H2 production upon methanol dehydrogenation at the expense of B2(OH)4, with the TOF of 299.51 min-130 oC. Compared with other common carriers, Pt/CNT exhibited the highest catalytic performance in H2 production, emphasizing the critical role of CNT in methanol dehydrogenation. The confinement of Pt nanoparticles by CNTs is conducive to inhibiting the aggregation of Pt nanoparticles, thereby significantly increasing its catalytic performance and stability. The kinetic study, detailed mechanistic insights, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirm that the breaking of O─H bond of CH3OH is the rate-controlling step for methanol dehydrogenation, and both H atoms of H2 are supplied by methanol. Interestingly, H2 is also successfully produced from methanol dehydrogenation at -10 °C, which absolutely solves the freezing problem in the H2 evolution upon water-splitting reaction.

Abstract
The increasing pollution of water bodies with organic contaminants, including antibiotics, has become a significant environmental concern. In this study, a noble-metal-free alternative, NiCo bimetal cocatalyst, was synthesized and applied to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) using BiVO4 as the photocatalyst under the visible spectrum. The NiCo-BiVO4 nanocomposite exhibited improved visible light absorption, reduced recombination rate of charge carriers, and enhanced electrochemical properties. The photocatalytic degradation of TC was significantly enhanced by the NiCo bimetal modification, with the 2 wt% NiCo-BiVO4 nanocomposite achieving an 87.2% degradation of TC and 82% Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removal within 120 min. The degradation kinetics of TC (target compound) followed a first-order reaction, with photogenerated electrons and holes identified as the primary active species responsible for the degradation process. The recyclability of the catalyst was also demonstrated for multiple runs, indicating its stability. Furthermore, the pathway of TC degradation by 2 wt% NiCo-BiVO4 nanocomposite was proposed based on the detected intermediate products using LC-MS analysis. This study provides a promising approach for developing efficient, noble-metal-free photocatalysts to remove organic contaminants from water sources.

Abstract
In the winter months, the temperature in most of the Earth stays below 0°C; the average temperature in winter at the South Pole is about -60°C. Therefore, it is urgent to develop efficient catalytic systems for selective and efficient H2 evolution upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis at subzero temperatures. For solving the freezing issue of water at below 0°C, herein, we have employed a facile and surfactant-free approach to synthesize M-Pt/C nanocomposites (M = Pd, Rh, Ru, Ni, Cu, or Fe), by the alloying of commercial Pt/C with Pd, Rh, Ru, Cu, Ni, or Fe for selective and efficient H2 evolution upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis in saline solution at below 0°C, even at -15°C. In addition, NH3BH3 hydrolysis over Pd-Pt/C in the saturated NaCl solution is utilized not only for safe hydrogen production but also for its in situ hydrogenation reduction in organic chemistry, which could avoid using dangerous hydrogen cylinders.

Abstract
Although a range of noble metal catalysts, including Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, and Au, have been developed for efficient H2 generation upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis at room temperature, this is a highly urgent need for exploring earth-abundant metal nanocatalysts for H2 generation upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis. Herein, a NaBH4 reduction strategy was developed to boost the catalytic performance of NiMoO4 nanorods in H2 generation upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis. Indeed, the pristine NiMoO4 nanorods were catalytically inert in NH3BH3 hydrolysis. Significantly, the reduced NiMoO4 nanorods presented excellent catalytic activity in H2 generation upon NH3BH3 hydrolysis, with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 31.2 L(H2)·gcat-1·h-1. Interestingly, the TOF of NH3BH3 hydrolysis over reduced NiMoO4 nanorods significantly increased from 31.2 to 53.6 L(H2)·gcat-1·h-1 under 0.3 M NaOH. The boosting catalytic performance of NiMoO4 nanorods via NaBH4 reduction in H2 generation might be attributed to the higher content of Oads and the formation of nickel boride in the reduced NiMoO4 nanorods. In this work, NH3BH3 hydrolysis over reduced NiMoO4 nanorods was not only used for safe H2 generation but also for its in situ tandem hydrogenation in organic chemistry.

Abstract
The generation of H2 via the catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (SBH) has promise as a practical and secure approach to produce H2, a secure and environmentally friendly energy source for the foreseeable future. In this study, distinctive trimetallic NiCoPd nanoparticle-supported carbon nanofibers (NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs) is synthesized via sol-gel and electrospinning approaches. The fabricated trimetallic catalysts show an excellent catalytic performance for the generation of H2 from the hydrolysis of SBH. Standard physicochemical techniques were used to characterize the as-prepared NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs. The results show that NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs is formed, with an average particle size of about 21 nm. When compared to NiCo bimetallic NP @CNFS, all NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs formulations demonstrated greater catalytic activates for the hydrolysis of SBH. The improved catalytic activity may be due in the majority to the synergistic interaction between the three metals in the trimetallic architecture. Furthermore, the activation energy for the catalytic hydrolysis of SBH by the NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs was determined to be 16.30 kJ mol-1. The kinetics studies show that the reaction is of a first order with respect to the catalyst loading amount and a half order with respect to the SBH concentration [SBH].

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is a green strategy for hydrogen (H2) production but is severely hindered by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, replacing the sluggish anodic OER with more favorable oxidation reactions is an energy-saving approach for hydrogen production. Hydrazine borane (HB, N2H4BH3) is considered a potential hydrogen storage material due to its easy preparation, nontoxicity, and high chemical stability. Furthermore, the complete electrooxidation of HB has a unique characteristic of a much lower potential compared to that of OER. All these make it an ideal alternative for energy-saving electrochemical hydrogen production, however, which has never been reported so far. Herein, HB oxidation (HBOR)-assisted overall water splitting (OWS) is proposed for the first time for energy-saving electrochemical hydrogen production. The as-synthesized NiCoP@CoFeP nanoneedle array catalyst exhibited superefficient OER, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and HBOR performance. Impressively, NiCoP@CoFeP serves as both anodic and cathodic electrocatalysts for HB-assisted OWS, only requires a low cell voltage of only 0.078 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which was 1.4 V lower than that for HB-free OWS, indicating the highly energy-saving H2 production.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Effective and affordable photocatalysts play an important role in the cost reduction of solar hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting. In this research, a Zn2+ and Ni2+ modified carbon hydrogen evolution cocatalyst (ZnNi-C) were synthesized and immobilized onto the surface of CdS (CdS@ZnNi-C) for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). The preparation used an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA)-assisted method. The hydrogen evolution rate and apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) at 420 nm for an optimized CdS@ZnNi-C photocatalyst are15.7 mmol/h/g and 31.4 %, respectively. The rate is 2.4 times and 3.7 times greater than those of Zn2+ and Ni2+ modified carbon cocatalysts (Zn-C) and (Ni-C) on CdS (CdS@Zn-C) and (CdS@Ni-C), respectively. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the elevated catalytic performance of CdS@ZnNi-C is due to the co-anchored Zn2+ and Ni2+ in carbon layers that lead to a favorable Gibbs free energy (ΔGH*) for hydrogen evolution. This approach is valuable for the design of stable and efficient photocatalysts for renewable hydrogen production.

Abstract
In spite of the fact that remarkable developments are achieved in the design and development of novel nanocatalysts for H2 release upon dimethylamineborane hydrolysis, the development of an "on-off" switch for demand-based H2 evolution upon dimethylamineborane hydrolysis is still a matter of supreme importance, however. Herein, we synthesized a string of MoS2 nanosheet-supported RuNi bimetallic nanohybrids (RuxNi1-x/MoS2), by fixation of RuNi nanoparticles at the MoS2 surface, for the H2 evolution upon the hydrolysis of dimethylamineborane at 30 °C. For safely and effectively generating, transporting, and storing H2 gas, the selective "on-off" switch for on-demand H2 evolution upon dimethylamineborane hydrolysis over the Ru0.8Ni0.2/MoS2 nanohybrid has been successfully realized by the Zn2+/EDTA-2Na system. In particular, the H2 evolution is totally switched off by adding Zn(NO3)2. It seems that Zn2+ ions are attached and anchored at the Ru0.8Ni0.2/MoS2 surface, inhibiting their surface-active sites, leading to the termination of H2 evolution. Then, the H2 generation is subsequently reactivated by adding the EDTA-2Na solution because of its excellent coordination ability with Zn2+ ions. This study not only offers a new and efficient RuNi nanocatalyst for dimethylamineborane hydrolysis but also proposes a new method for the demand-based H2 production.

Abstract
As one of the key factors that affect the application of hydrazine hydrate as a potential hydrogen source, efficient and cheap catalyst is particularly important. Nickel based catalysts have been widely studied because of their excellent catalytic performance for the decomposition of hydrazine hydrate to hydrogen. Herein, a Ni catalyst supported on anatase TiO2 through reduction and impregnation methods was prepared. Structure of the catalyst was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of the amount of TiO2 and the concentration of NaOH on the activity of the catalyst were investigated. The results showed that the catalyst prepared with a metal nickel content of 0.2 mmol using 100 mg of the nano-TiO2 support had the best catalytic performance. Hydrazine hydrate could be completely decomposed at 343 K in 2.83 min, the hydrogen selectivity attained 100%, and the turnover frequency (TOF) value was 265.49 h-1. In this catalyst, transition metal Ni was dispersed on the support surface in the form of amorphous elemental or oxide. Anatase TiO2 support had the advantages of promoting the dispersion of metal Ni, exposing the active site, changing the electronic state of the active center, strengthening the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), and improving the activity of the catalyst. After ten cycles of use, the performance of the catalyst stabilized and the hydrogen selectivity was still as high as 100%.

Abstract
Non-noble CuxNi1-x (x = 0, 0.1, 0,2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1) alloy nanoparticles supported on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers (NFs) are successfully fabricated. The fabrication process is executed through an electrospinning technique and in situ reduction in Cu2+ and Ni2+ salts. The as-synthesized catalysts are characterized using standard physiochemical techniques. They demonstrate the formation of bimetallic NiCu alloy supported on PVDF-HFP. The introduced bimetals show better catalytic activity for sodium borohydride (SBH) hydrolysis to produce H2, as compared to monometallic counterparts. The Cu0.7 Ni0.3/PVDF-HFP catalyst possesses the best catalytic performance in SBH hydrolysis as compared to the others bimetallic formulations. The kinetics studies indicate that the reaction is zero order and first order with respect to SBH concentration and catalyst amount, respectively. Furthermore, low activation energy (Ea = 27.81 kJ/mol) for the hydrolysis process of SBH solution is obtained. The excellent catalytic activity is regarded as the synergistic effects between Ni and Cu resulting from geometric effects over electronic effects and uniform distribution of bimetallic NPs. Furthermore, the catalyst displays a satisfying stability for five cycles for SBH hydrolysis. The activity has retained 93% from the initial activity. The introduced catalyst has broad prospects for commercial applications because of easy fabrication and lability.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalytic systems to boost hydrogen evolution from hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) is of broad interest but remains a formidable challenge since the widespread usages of hydrogen have been considered as sustainable solutions to ensure future energy security. Herein, we developed an alkaline ultrasonic irradiation-mediated catalytic system with O/N-rich porous carbon supported Ru nanoclusters (NCs) (Ru/ONPC) to considerably boost the catalytic activity for hydrogen production from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB. The uniformly distributed sub-2.0 nm Ru NCs on the ONPC were demonstrated to be efficient catalysts to boost hydrogen generation from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB with the synergistic effect between ultrasonic irradiation and alkaline additive without any additional heating. An ultrahigh turnover frequency (TOF) of 4004 min-1 was achieved in the developed catalytic system, which was significantly higher than that of ultrasound-mediated AB hydrolysis without alkali (TOF: 485 min-1) and alkaline AB hydrolysis (TOF: 1747 min-1) without ultrasound mixing. The alkaline ultrasonic irradiation was beneficial for the cleavage of the OH bonds in the attacked H2O molecules catalyzed by the Ru/ONPC and thus considerably boost the catalytic hydrogen generation from AB. This study provides a tractable and ecofriendly pathway to promote the activity toward AB hydrolysis to release hydrogen.

Abstract
Developing economical and efficient catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis is still a huge challenge. As an alternative strategy, the functional group regulation of metal nanoparticles (NPs)-based catalysts is believed to be capable of improving the catalytic activity. Herein, a series of Ni/Ti3C2Tx-Y (Tx = F, -OH; Y denotes etching time (d)) catalysts are synthesized and show remarkably enhanced catalytic activity on the hydrolysis of AB in contrast to the corresponding without regulating. The optimized Ni/Ti3C2Tx-4 with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 161.0 min-1 exhibits the highest catalytic activity among the non-noble monometallic-based catalyst. Experimental results and theory calculations demonstrate that the excellent catalytic activity benefits from the bimolecular activation channels formed by Ni NPs and Ti3C2Tx-Y. H2O and AB molecules are activated simultaneously in the bimolecular activation tunnel. Bimolecular activation reduces the activation energy of AB hydrolysis, and hydrogen generation rate is promoted. This article provides a new approach to design effective catalysts and further supports the bimolecular activation model for the hydrolysis of AB.

Abstract
H2 has been comprehensively deemed a promising potential candidate to replace traditional fossil fuel-based energy. Typically, the hydrolysis of most hydrogen-rich boron hydrides (e.g. NaBH4, NH3BH3 and Me2NHBH3) catalyzed by nanomaterials generates H2 with only one H atom supplied by water and the other one by a hydrogen-rich boron hydride. Interestingly, both H atoms of produced H2 are provided by water upon hydrolysis of B2(OH)4. Herein, the catalytic mechanisms of H2 evolution upon water splitting at the expense of B2(OH)4 in its hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by acid, base or metal nanoparticles have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. By computational studies, the mechanisms of catalysis by base and metal nanoparticles are basically the same as those speculated from our previous experiments. The previously proposed acid catalytic mechanism has been overturned, however. This study not only provides important insights into the catalytic mechanism for water splitting at the expense of B2(OH)4, but also opens up an exciting opportunity to use water to store H2.

Abstract
Despite being the lightest element in the periodic table, hydrogen poses many risks regarding its production, storage, and transport, but it is also the one element promising pollution-free energy for the planet, energy reliability, and sustainability. Development of such novel materials conveying a hydrogen source face stringent scrutiny from both a scientific and a safety point of view: they are required to have a high hydrogen wt.% storage capacity, must store hydrogen in a safe manner (i.e., by chemically binding it), and should exhibit controlled, and preferably rapid, absorption–desorption kinetics. Even the most advanced composites today face the difficult task of overcoming the harsh re-hydrogenation conditions (elevated temperature, high hydrogen pressure). Traditionally, the most utilized materials have been RMH (reactive metal hydrides) and complex metal borohydrides M(BH4)x (M: main group or transition metal; x: valence of M), often along with metal amides or various additives serving as catalysts (Pd2+, Ti4+ etc.). Through destabilization (kinetic or thermodynamic), M(BH4)x can effectively lower their dehydrogenation enthalpy, providing for a faster reaction occurring at a lower temperature onset. The present review summarizes the recent scientific results on various metal borohydrides, aiming to present the current state-of-the-art on such hydrogen storage materials, while trying to analyze the pros and cons of each material regarding its thermodynamic and kinetic behavior in hydrogenation studies.

Abstract
The photocharging effect is widely known across different research fields, has rarely been quantified as a background contribution in photocatalysis, and has often been overlooked in mechanistic interpretation of nanoparticle photocatalysts. To address these issues, this work presents a two-step experiment: charging colloidal Pd nanoparticles with light and hole scavengers and using the charged particles to catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4 under non-irradiation conditions. Experimental kinetics demonstrated a proportional correlation between accumulated electrons and catalytic improvement of Pd nanoparticles. This work reminds us that photocharged nanoparticles may still catalyze chemical reactions as a background phenomenon even when they are not undergoing photoexcitation.

Abstract
In this work, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane under near-infrared laser irradiation at ambient temperature was demonstrated by using the novel core-shell upconversion-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures (NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+@NaGdF4@Cu2O). The particles were successfully synthesized in a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. The particles were characterized via high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoluminescence, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and powder X-ray diffraction. The near-infrared-driven photocatalytic activities of such hybrid nanoparticles are remarkably higher than that with bare upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) under the same irradiation. The upconverted photoluminescence of UCNPs efficiently reabsorbed by Cu2O promotes the charge separation in the semiconducting shell, and facilitates the formation of photoinduced electrons and hydroxyl radicals generated via the reaction between H2O and holes. Both serve as reactive species on the dissociation of the weak B-N bond in an aqueous medium, to produce hydrogen under near-infrared excitation, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activities. The photocatalyst of NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+@NaGdF4@Cu2O (UCNPs@Cu2O) suffered no loss of efficacy after several cycles. This work sheds light on the rational design of near-infrared-activated photocatalysts, and can be used as a proof-of-concept for on-board hydrogen generation from ammonia borane under near-infrared illumination, with the aim of green energy suppliers.

Abstract
Designing efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution from hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) have attracted considerable attention. Rhodium (Rh) based catalysts with rational design present remarkable catalytic performance for the reaction. Herein, we report the confined Rh@TiO2 catalysts synthesized by atomic layer deposition combining with the sacrificial template approach, in which the Rh nanoparticles are uniformly confined on the inner surface of the porous titania nanotubes. The optimized catalysts show high catalytic activity with a turnover frequency value of 334.1 molH2·molRh-1·min-1 and better durability. Mechanistic investigation demonstrates that the cleavage of OH bands in water should be the rate determining step, and the appropriate concentration of NaOH can further enhance the hydrogen evolution activity. The catalysts can also achieve the hydrogenation of various organic substrates using AB as the hydrogen source. In addition, our present strategy is general and can be extended to the synthesis of other confined catalysts for various catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Dihydrogen is one of the sustainable energy vectors envisioned for the future. However, the rapidly reversible and secure storage of large quantities of hydrogen is still a technological and scientific challenge. In this context, this review proposes a recent state-of-the-art on H2 production capacities from the dehydrogenation reaction of ammonia borane (and selected related amine-boranes) as a safer solid source of H2 by hydrolysis (or solvolysis), catalyzed by nanoparticle-based systems. The review groups the results according to the transition metals constituting the catalyst with a mention to their current cost and availability. This includes the noble metals Rh, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ag, as well as cheaper Co, Ni, Cu, and Fe. For each element, the monometallic and polymetallic structures are presented and the performances are described in terms of turnover frequency and recyclability. The structure-property links are highlighted whenever possible. It appears from all these works that the mastery of the preparation of catalysts remains a crucial point both in terms of process, and control and understanding of the electronic structures of the elaborated nanomaterials. A particular effort of the scientific community remains to be made in this multidisciplinary field with major societal stakes.

Abstract
The paper presents a comparative study of the activity of magnetite (Fe3O4) and copper and cobalt ferrites with the structure of a cubic spinel synthesized by combustion of glycine-nitrate precursors in the reactions of ammonia borane (NH3BH3) hydrolysis and hydrothermolysis. It was shown that the use of copper ferrite in the studied reactions of NH3BH3 dehydrogenation has the advantages of a high catalytic activity and the absence of an induction period in the H2 generation curve due to the activating action of copper on the reduction of iron. Two methods have been proposed to improve catalytic activity of Fe3O4-based systems: (1) replacement of a portion of Fe2+ cations in the spinel by active cations including Cu2+ and (2) preparation of highly dispersed multiphase oxide systems, involving oxide of copper.

Abstract
This review reports a survey on the progress in developing highly efficient platinum nanocatalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB). After a short prelude emphasizing the importance of increasing the atom efficiency of high cost, precious platinum nanoparticles (NPs) which are known to be one of the highest activity catalysts for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB, this article reviews all the available reports on the use of platinum-based catalysts for this hydrolysis reaction covering (i) early tested platinum catalysts, (ii) platinum(0) NPs supported on oxides, (iii) platinum(0) NPs supported on carbonaceous materials, (iv) supported platinum single-atom catalysts, (v) bimetallic- and (vi) multimetallic-platinum NP nanocatalysts, and (vii) magnetically separable platinum-based catalysts. All the reported results are tabulated along with the important parameters used in the platinum-catalyzed hydrolysis of AB. In the section "Concluding remarks and a look towards the future" a discussion is devoted to the approaches for making high cost, precious platinum catalysts as efficient as possible, ultimately lowering the cost, including the suggestions for the future research in this field.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) is considered a potential "on-board" hydrogen storage material. However, its implementation as a hydrogen reservoir in fuel cells is lacking due to the extremely slow release of hydrogen at room-temperature hydrolysis. In this study, a metal-free supramolecular strategy is demonstrated at room temperature to increase the hydrolysis rate and yield of hydrogen along with significant reduction in ammonia release by using cucurbit[5/8]uril (CB5/CB8) nanocavitands as catalysts. The complex of AB with CB stabilizes the ammonium ion at the host portals, which reduces ammonia release and enhances hydrogen yield. The complexation brings down the activation energy of hydrolysis from 103.8 to ∼27.5 kJ mol-1 (for CB5), a value close to the Pt/Pd nanoparticle-based catalysts reported so far. The high catalytic performance and reusability of CB catalysts at very low concentration make AB a promising supramolecular alternative for a sustainable "on-board" energy source.

Abstract
Free-standing Pt-Ni nanowires were fabricated by a one-pot solvothermal method. Nanowires with an optimal Pt/Ni ratio of 1.86 exhibited a high activity and a 100% H2 selectivity for hydrous hydrazine decomposition at mild temperatures, which are comparable to the levels of supported catalysts. Our study reveals for the first time that basic support is not a prerequisite for achieving favorable catalytic performance and provides a renewed perspective for the design of advanced catalysts for on-demand H2 generation from hydrous hydrazine.

Abstract
A novel nonprecious Fe2O3 nanoparticle decorated NiO nanosheet (Fe2O3 NPs@NiO NSs) composite has been obtained by a rapid one-pot electrochemical exfoliation method and can be used as an efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst. In the nanocomposite, the Fe2O3 NPs are uniformly anchored on the ultrathin graphene-like NiO nanosheets. At the same time, we also studied the influence of the Fe/Ni molar ratio on the morphology and catalytic activity. The Fe2O3 NPs@NiO NSs nanocomposite possessed a high BET surface area (194.1 m2 g-1), which is very conducive to the charge/mass transfer of electrolyte ions and O2. Owing to the unique two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures and rational Fe content, the as-prepared Fe2O3 NPs@NiO NSs show high catalytic performance, a low overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 (221 mV), a small Tafel slope (53.4 mV dec-1), and 2000 cycle and 20 h long-term durability. The introduction of Fe2O3 NPs is beneficial to accelerating charge transport, increasing the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), and thus improving the release of oxygen bubbles from the electrode surface.
