Copper nanoparticles decorated on cobalt oxide nanosheets derived from bimetallic metal–organic-framework for hydrolysis of ammonia borane

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles decorated on cobalt oxide nanosheets were successfully prepared from Cu-Co-MOF-74 by in situ reduction with simultaneous hydrolysis of aqueous ammonia borane, with a TOF value of 18.5 min−1 and good durability over 5 cycles of the hydrogen evolution reaction at 25 °C. The spatial confinement of the MOF structure for the formation of nanocatalysts and the interaction between Cu and CoOx are responsible for the improved catalytic activity. This strategy gives the possibility of tailoring specific functional metal/metal oxides from MOFs for application in energy storage and conversion.
