Developing efficient catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) is important for the safe storage and controlled release of hydrogen, but it is a challenging task. In this study, we designed a robust Ru-Co 3 O 4 catalyst using the Mott-Schottky effect to induce favorable charge rearrangement. The self-created electron-rich Co 3 O 4 and electron-deficient Ru sites at heterointerfaces are indispensable for the activation of the B-H bond in NH 3 BH 3 and the O H bond in H 2 O, respectively. The synergistic electronic interaction between the electron-rich Co 3 O 4 and electron-deficient Ru sites at the heterointerfaces resulted in an optimal Ru-Co 3 O 4 heterostructure that exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of AB in the presence of NaOH. The heterostructure had an extremely high hydrogen generation rate (HGR) of 12238 mL min −1 g cat -1 and an expected high turnover frequency (TOF) of 755 mol H2 mol Ru -1 min −1 at 298 K. The activation energy needed for the hydrolysis was low (36.65 kJ mol −1 ). This study opens up a new avenue for the rational design of high-performance catalysts for AB dehydrogenation based on the Mott-Schottky effect.

Copper phyllosilicate has been synthesized from a solution of sodium silicate and copper nitrate by co-precipitation under acidic conditions followed by reduction under H 2 flow for using it as the Cu/SiO 2 catalyst. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, XPS, FTIR and Raman spectra, EDS, BET, and TEM. It is confirmed that only copper phyllosilicate and SiO 2 exist in the catalyst precursor, and there has been no CuO. Physical and chemical properties of Cu/SiO 2 catalyst have been evaluated. The Cu/SiO 2 catalyst has not only a large specific surface area and abundant mesopores but also the advantages of high dispersion of copper nanoparticles and the combination of Cu 0 and Cu + . The catalyst demonstrates high activity and selectivity in the reaction of 2-butanol dehydrogenation to methyl ethyl ketone.
