Use of silica-based homogeneously distributed gold nickel nanohybrid as a stable nanocatalyst for the hydrogen production from the dimethylamine borane.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the effects of silica-based gold-nickel (AuNi@SiO₂) nanohybrid to the production of hydrogen from dimethylamine borane (DMAB) were investigated. AuNi@SiO₂ nanohybrid constructs were prepared as nanocatalysts for the dimethylamine borane dehydrogenation. The prepared nanohybrid structures were exhibited high catalytic activity and a stable form. The resulting nanohybrid, AuNi@SiO₂ as a nanocatalyst, was tested in the hydrogen evolution from DMAB at room temperature. The synthesized nanohybrids were characterized using some analytical techniques. According to the results of the characterization, it was observed that the catalyst was in nanoscale and the gold-nickel alloys showed a homogenous distribution on the SiO₂ surface. After ch
