CoP nanoarray: a robust non-noble-metal hydrogen-generating catalyst toward effective hydrolysis of ammonia borane

Abstract

A CoP nanoarray behaves as a robust non-noble-metal recyclable catalyst for effective on-demand hydrogen generation from ammonia borane hydrolysis, with an initial turnover frequency and activation energy of 42.8 mol_H2 mol_CoP⁻¹ min⁻¹ and 34.1 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively.
