Ruthenium deposited on MCM-41 as efficient catalyst for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and methylamine borane

摘要

Ultrafine Ru nanoparticles are successfully deposited on MCM-41 by using a simple liquid impregnationreduction method, and further investigated for catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane and methylamine borane. Among all the catalysts tested, 1.12 wt% Ru/MCM-41 exhibits the highest catalytic activity, with turnover frequency value of 288 min-1.
