The catalytic performances of skeletal Cu prepared from Cu Ti amorphous alloy heated at various temperatures were tested for the hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. The catalytic activity per surface area decreased with increasing heating temperatures of Cu Ti amorphous alloy. The thermal treatment of Cu Ti amorphous alloy leads to the high surface area of skeletal Cu. A skeletal Cu catalyst prepared from heated Cu Ti amorphous alloy at 300°C which is a moderate temperature somewhat lower than crystallization temperature, exhibited a higher catalytic activity in this reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
