TiN nanotube supported Ni catalyst Ni@TiN-NTs: experimental evidence of structure-activity relations in catalytically hydrolyzing ammonia borane for hydrogen evolution.

ABSTRACT: With commercial TiO₂ as the precursor, titanium nitride nanotubes (TiN-NTs) were fabricated through a hydrothermal - ammonia nitriding route, and next non-noble metal nanosized Ni particles were evenly and firmly anchored on the surface of the TiN-NTs via a PVP-mediated non-aqueous phase reduction-deposition strategy, to obtain the supported catalyst Ni@TiN-NTs. The X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy (FE-SEM/TEM) and specific surface area measurements were used to characterize and analyze the phase composition, surface microstructure and morphological features of the product. The catalytic activity of the Ni@TiN-NTs for hydrolyzing ammonia borane to generate hydrogen (H₂) under different conditions was
