Comparative XPS study of Rh/Al2O3 and Rh/TiO2 as catalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis

Effects of the Preparation Solvent on the Catalytic Properties of Cobalt–Boron Alloy for the Hydrolysis of Alkaline Sodium Borohydride

“…Catalysts such as Pt, Ru, Pd, Rh, and other noble metals are very effective to accelerate the hydrolysis reaction of NaBH 4 [13][14][15][16]. However, the high cost of these precious metals makes it necessary to explore the alternative non-noble catalysts.…”

Cobalt borate catalysts for hydrogen production via hydrolysis of sodium borohydride

“…Catalysts containing noble metals (Pt, Rh, Ru) have shown the best performance in this process [10][11][12], but their high cost makes them prohibitive for wider applications. Cobalt-based catalysts have recently emerged to potentially replace noble metals in NaBH 4 hydrolysis [13], including Co nanoparticles [14][15][16], metallic cobalt [7,17], cobalt salts [7,8,17,18], cobalt oxides [16,[18][19][20], Co-B hollow spheres [21], and supported Cocontaining catalysts [22][23][24][25][26].…”

PVP-stabilized Ru–Rh nanoparticles as highly efficient catalysts for hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane

“…3) belong to C 1s, Ru 3d, Ru 3p, Rh 3d, O 1s, and N 1s. The XPS spectrum for Rh 3d is characterized by a doublet containing a binding energy of 308.1 eV for 3d 5/2 and 313.2 eV for 3d 3/2 , confirming the presence of Rh(0) [28]. Due to the strong overlap of the C1s and Ru 3d peaks around 285 eV, it is very difficult to analyze this region for ruthenium properly.…”
