Hydrogen Boride Sheets and Copper Nanoparticle Composites as a Visible-Light-Sensitive Hydrogen Release System.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen boride (HB) sheet is a new class of 2D materials comprising hydrogen and boron, synthesized through ion-exchange and exfoliation techniques. HB sheets can release hydrogen (H₂) under light irradiation and is predicted to be a promising H₂ storage material. However, its application is limited to the UV region. One approach to enable a visible-light-driven system is the utilization of plasmonic metallic nanoparticles. The present study reports H₂ release from copper (Cu) nanoparticle-modified HB sheet (HB/Cu) under visible-light irradiation. Copper nanoparticles possess unique and strong plasmonic responses in the visible-light range, making them ideal light absorbers in this system. HB/Cu nanocomposites are synthesized using a simple mixture of copp
