A novel highly active and reusable carbon based platinum-ruthenium nanocatalyst for dimethylamine-borane dehydrogenation in water at room conditions.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present platinum/ruthenium nanoparticles supported on Vulcan carbon (PtRu@VC) as a nanocatalyst for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane (DMAB) in aqueous solution under mild conditions. PtRu@VC nanocatalyst was fabricated using the alcohol-reduction techniques which is a facile and effective method. The prepared PtRu@VC nanocatalyst exhibited a good stabilization and an effective catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution from the DMAB dehydrogenation in water at room temperature. The composition of PtRu@VC nanocatalyst was investigated using different analytical techniques inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (P
