Abstract
An effective approach to producing sophisticated miniaturized and nanoscale materials involves arranging nanomaterials into layered hierarchical frameworks. Nanostructured layered materials are constructed to possess isolated propagation assets, massive surface areas, and envisioned amenities, making them suitable for a variety of established and novel applications. The utilization of various techniques to create nanostructures adorned with metal nanoparticles provides a secure alternative or reinforcement for the existing physicochemical methods. Supported metal nanoparticles are preferred due to their ease of recovery and usage. Researchers have extensively studied the catalytic properties of noble metal nanoparticles using various selective oxidation and hydrogenation procedures. Despite the numerous advantages of metal-based nanoparticles (NPs), their catalytic potential remains incompletely explored. This article examines metal-based nanomaterials that are supported by layers, and provides an analysis of their manufacturing, procedures, and synthesis. This study incorporates both 2D and 3D layered nanomaterials because of their distinctive layered architectures. This review focuses on the most common metal-supported nanocomposites and methodologies used for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes employing layered nanomaterials. The comprehensive examination of biological and ecological cleaning and treatment techniques discussed in this article has paved the way for the exploration of cutting-edge technologies that can contribute to the establishment of a sustainable future.

Hydrogen spillover inspired bifunctional Platinum/Rhodium Oxide-Nitrogen-Doped carbon composite for enhanced hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions in base. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:258-271.

Abstract
The poor activity of Pt-based-catalysts for alkaline hydrogen oxidation/evolution reaction (HOR/HER) encourages scientific society to design an effective electrocatalyst to develop alkaline fuel cells/electrolyzers. Herein, platinum/rhodium oxide-nitrogen-doped carbon (Pt/Rh2O3-CNx) composite is prepared for alkaline HER and HOR inspired by hydrogen spillover. The HER performance of Pt/Rh2O3-CNx is ∼ 6 times higher than Pt/C. In HOR, Pt/Rh2O3-CNx possesses an exchange current density of 657.60 mA/mgmetal, which is ∼ 3.4 times higher than Pt/C. Hydrogen and hydroxyl binding energy (HBE and OHBE) contribute equally to alkaline HOR/HER. The experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that the enhanced HER and HOR activity of Pt/Rh2O3-CNx may be due to hydrogen spillover from Pt to Rh2O3. Small work function difference [0.08 eV] of the system suggested hydrogen-spillover is feasible, which has been justified by reaction-free energy calculations. We proposed that the dissociation of hydrogen (H2) and water (H2O) occurs at Pt to form Pt-adsorbed hydrogen species (Pt-Had). Then, some Had moves to Rh2O3 through hydrogen spillover and reacts with neighboring Had or adsorbed hydroxyl species (OHad) to form H2 or H2O, which enhances the HER and HOR activity, respectively. The role of water-metal-hydroxyl species in the electrical double layer was also demonstrated on alkaline HOR/HER. This work may help to design the hydrogen-spillover-based catalysts for several renewable energy technologies.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis for high-value hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through a two-electron reduction reaction is a green and sustainable strategy. However, the development of highly active H2O2 photocatalysts is impeded by severe carrier recombination, ineffective active sites, and low surface reaction efficiency. We developed a dual optimization strategy to load dense Ni nanoparticles onto ultrathin porous graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-UPGCN). In the absence and presence of sacrificial agents, Ni-UPGCN achieved H2O2 production rates of 169 and 4116 μmol g-1 h-1 with AQY (apparent quantum efficiency) at 420 nm of 3.14% and 17.71%. Forming a Schottky junction, the surface-modified Ni nanoparticles broaden the light absorption boundary and facilitate charge separation, which act as active sites, promoting O2 adsorption and reducing the formation energy of *OOH (reaction intermediate). This results in a substantial improvement in both H2O2 generation activity and selectivity. The Schottky junction of dual modulation strategy provides novel insights into the advancement of highly effective photocatalytic agents for the photosynthesis of H2O2.

Abstract
Compared to other known materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the highest surface area and the lowest densities; as a result, MOFs are advantageous in numerous technological applications, especially in the area of photocatalysis. Photocatalysis shows tantalizing potential to fulfill global energy demands, reduce greenhouse effects, and resolve environmental contamination problems. To exploit highly active photocatalysts, it is important to determine the fate of photoexcited charge carriers and identify the most decisive charge transfer pathway. Methods to modulate charge dynamics and manipulate carrier behaviors may pave a new avenue for the intelligent design of MOF-based photocatalysts for widespread applications. By summarizing the recent developments in the modulation of interfacial charge dynamics for MOF-based photocatalysts, this minireview can deliver inspiring insights to help researchers harness the merits of MOFs and create versatile photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of ammonia borane (NH3BH3) on metal-based heterogeneous catalysts under light irradiation has been considered as an efficient technique for hydrogen (H2) generation, in which the activity of the catalyst can be improved by increasing the electron density of the active metal. However, studies focused on reducing the electron density of the active metal are rare. Here, we report an electron density manipulation strategy to prepare highly electron-deficient ultrathin Co nanosheets via transferring nanosheets to support mesoporous Cr2O3 by simple one-step in situ reduction (denoted as Co/Cr2O3). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra confirm the formation of electron-deficient Co nanosheets and the Co-O-Cr bond due to electron transfer from the nanosheets to mesoporous Cr2O3. Importantly, the Co-O-Cr bond can work as a bridge to accelerate the electron transfer under light irradiation and then improve the electron-deficiency degree of Co nanosheets. As a result, the optimal Co/Cr2O3 exhibits a high intrinsic catalytic performance with the turnover frequency (TOF) value of 106.8 min-1 and significantly reduces the activation energy (Ea) to 16.8 kJ mol-1 under visible light irradiation, which make it among the best ever recorded monometallic Co-based catalyst with enriched electrons. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation results suggest that the electron-deficient Co nanosheets are responsible for the greatly decreased H2O activation and dissociation energy barriers and then the acceleration of the evolution of H2. The work provides a new perspective for designing high efficiency catalysts for H2 production, which is beneficial for relative energy conversion and storage catalysis.

Abstract
The hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane is intriguing but challenging due to its sluggish kinetics. In this regard, the gold nanoparticles amalgamation with metal phosphides is speculated to be more efficient catalysts. Here, the catalysts Au/Ni2P and Au/CoP with the high synergetic effect of Au nanoparticles and metal phosphides were synthesized for ammonia borane hydrolysis. The activity of Au/Ni2P increases 4.8-fold (i.e., 0.08 to 0.40 L∙h-1) compared to pristine Ni2P, and the activity of Au/CoP increases 1.7-fold (i.e., 0.74 to 1.27 L∙h-1) compared to pristine CoP. This reveals that the synergetic effect of Auδ+ and (Ni2P) δ- is stronger than Auδ+ and (CoP) δ- which is manifested by XPS analysis. The kinetics exposes that the activation energy of Au/Ni2P (45.28 kJ∙mole-1) is greater than Au/CoP (31.45 kJ∙mole-1) and the TOF of Au/Ni2P is less than Au/CoP. This research work presents an effective approach for producing active sites of Auδ+ and (Ni2P & CoP) δ- for ammonia borane hydrolysis to enhance the H2 evolution rate.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

The functions of interfacial synergy in heterojunction catalysts are diverse and powerful, providing a route to solve many difficulties in energy conversion and organic synthesis. Among heterojunction-based catalysts, the Mott-Schottky catalysts composed of a metal-semiconductor heterojunction with predictable and designable interfacial synergy are rising stars of next-generation catalysts. We review the concept of Mott-Schottky catalysts and discuss their applications in various realms of catalysis. In particular, the design of a Mott-Schottky catalyst provides a feasible strategy to boost energy conversion and chemical synthesis processes, even allowing realization of novel catalytic functions such as enhanced redox activity, Lewis acid-base pairs, and electron donor-acceptor couples for dealing with the current problems in catalysis for energy conversion and storage. This review focuses on the synthesis, assembly, and characterization of Schottky heterojunctions for photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and organic synthesis. The proposed design principles, including the importance of constructing stable and clean interfaces, tuning work function differences, and preparing exposable interfacial structures for designing electronic interfaces, will provide a reference for the development of all heterojunction-type catalysts, electrodes, energy conversion/storage devices, and even super absorbers, which are currently topics of interest in fields such as electrocatalysis, fuel cells, CO2 reduction, and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
AbstractWe present here a scalable and environmentally friendly gas phase technique employing atmospheric pressure electrical spark discharge plasmas for the production of Au/Co binaries, an effective catalyst system for the decomposition of hydrogen-rich compounds, such as ammonium borane. We demonstrate that Au/Co alloy nanoparticles can be produced via the spark plasma-based technique. The possibility of varying the morphology and phase structure via real time heat treatment of the generated aerosol to form Au/Co/CoO particles with continuous control over a wide particle compositional range (from 24 to 64 at.% [Co]/([Co] + [Au]) content) is also demonstrated. Since our spark-based approach is proven to be capable of providing reasonable particle yields, these results may contribute to the transition of lab-scale, nanocatalyst-based hydrogen storage systems to real world applications.

Abstract
The development and application of trimetallic nanoparticles continues to accelerate rapidly as a result of advances in materials design, synthetic control, and reaction characterization. Following the technological successes of multicomponent materials in automotive exhausts and photovoltaics, synergistic effects are now accessible through the careful preparation of multielement particles, presenting exciting opportunities in the field of catalysis. In this review, we explore the methods currently used in the design, synthesis, analysis, and application of trimetallic nanoparticles across both the experimental and computational realms and provide a critical perspective on the emergent field of trimetallic nanocatalysts. Trimetallic nanoparticles are typically supported on high-surface-area metal oxides for catalytic applications, synthesized via preparative conditions that are comparable to those applied for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles. However, controlled elemental segregation and subsequent characterization remain challenging because of the heterogeneous nature of the systems. The multielement composition exhibits beneficial synergy for important oxidation, dehydrogenation, and hydrogenation reactions; in some cases, this is realized through higher selectivity, while activity improvements are also observed. However, challenges related to identifying and harnessing influential characteristics for maximum productivity remain. Computation provides support for the experimental endeavors, for example in electrocatalysis, and a clear need is identified for the marriage of simulation, with respect to both combinatorial element screening and optimal reaction design, to experiment in order to maximize productivity from this nascent field. Clear challenges remain with respect to identifying, making, and applying trimetallic catalysts efficiently, but the foundations are now visible, and the outlook is strong for this exciting chemical field.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover phenomenon of metal-supported electrocatalysts can significantly impact their activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, design of active electrocatalysts faces grand challenges due to the insufficient understandings on how to overcome this thermodynamically and kinetically adverse process. Here we theoretically profile that the interfacial charge accumulation induces by the large work function difference between metal and support (∆Φ) and sequentially strong interfacial proton adsorption construct a high energy barrier for hydrogen transfer. Theoretical simulations and control experiments rationalize that small ∆Φ induces interfacial charge dilution and relocation, thereby weakening interfacial proton adsorption and enabling efficient hydrogen spillover for HER. Experimentally, a series of Pt alloys-CoP catalysts with tailorable ∆Φ show a strong ∆Φ-dependent HER activity, in which PtIr/CoP with the smallest ∆Φ = 0.02 eV delivers the best HER performance. These findings have conclusively identified ∆Φ as the criterion in guiding the design of hydrogen spillover-based binary HER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
In this work, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived CoPd nanoalloys have been prepared. The nanocatalysts exhibited excellent activities in the hydrogenation of nitroarenes and alkenes in green solvent (ethanol/water) under mild conditions (H2 balloon, room temperature). Using ZIF-67 as template for both carbon matrix and cobalt precursor coating with a mesoporous SiO2 layer, the catalyst CoPd/NC@SiO2 was smoothly constructed. Catalytic results revealed a synergistic effect between Co and Pd components in the hydrogenation process due to the enhanced electron density. The mesoporous SiO2 shell effectively prevented the sintering of hollow carbon and metal NPs at high temperature, furnishing the well-dispersed nanoalloy catalysts and better catalytic performance. Moreover, the catalyst was durable and showed negligible activity decay in recycling and scale-up experiments, providing a mild and highly efficient way to access amines and arenes.

Abstract
Hydrogen has emerged as an environmentally attractive fuel and a promising energy carrier for future applications to meet the ever-increasing energy challenges. The safe and efficient storage and release of hydrogen remain a bottleneck for realizing the upcoming hydrogen economy. Hydrogen storage based on liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials is one of the most promising hydrogen storage techniques, which offers considerable potential for large-scale practical applications for its excellent safety, great convenience, and high efficiency. Recently, nanopore-supported metal nanocatalysts have stood out remarkably in boosting the field of liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage. Herein, the latest research progress in catalytic hydrogen production is summarized, from liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials, such as formic acid, ammonia borane, hydrous hydrazine, and sodium borohydride, by using metal nanocatalysts confined within diverse nanoporous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, zeolites, mesoporous silica, and porous organic polymers. The state-of-the-art synthetic strategies and advanced characterizations for these nanocatalysts, as well as their catalytic performances in hydrogen generation, are presented. The limitation of each hydrogen storage system and future challenges and opportunities on this subject are also discussed. References in related fields are provided, and more developments and applications to achieve hydrogen energy will be inspired.

Abstract
Interest in chemical hydrogen storage has increased, because the supply of fossil fuels are limited and the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels on the environment have become a focus of public concern. Hydrogen, as one of the energy carriers, is useful for the sustainable development. However, it is widely known that controlled storage and release of hydrogen are the biggest barriers in large-scale application of hydrogen energy. Ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) is deemed as one of the most promising hydrogen storage candidates on account of its high hydrogen to mass ratio and environmental benignity. Development of efficient catalysts to further improve the properties of chemical kinetics in the dehydrogenation of AB under appropriate conditions is of importance for the practical application of this system. In previous studies, a variety of noble metal catalysts and their supported metal catalysts (Pt, Pd, Au, Rh, etc.) have presented great properties in decomposing the chemical hydride to generate hydrogen, thus, promoting their application in dehydrogenation of AB is urgent. We analyzed the hydrolysis of AB from the mechanism of hydrogen release reaction to understand more deeply. Based on these characteristics, we aimed to summarize recent advances in the development of noble metal catalysts, which had excellent activity and stability for AB dehydrogenation, with prospect towards realization of efficient noble metal catalysts.

Abstract
Based on nanotechnology, nanocomposites are synthesized using nanoparticles (NP), which have some advantages in terms of multifunctional, economic, and environmental factors. In this review, we discuss the inorganic applications as well as catalytic applications of NPs. Recently, structural defects, heteroatomic doping, and heterostructures of such efficient ideal catalysts and their application as multifunctional catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting. It has been verified that the catalysts used in oxygen reduction reaction and OER can be used effectively in metal/air batteries. Moreover, it has been reported that high-efficiency catalysts are required to implement urea oxidation reaction (UOR), which involves a six-electron reaction, as an electrochemical reaction. We expect that this review can be applied to sustainable and diverse electrochemistry fields.

Hydrogen Production from Ammonia Borane over PtNi Alloy Nanoparticles Immobilized on Graphite Carbon Nitride. Catalysts 2019.

Abstract
Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) supported PtNi alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated via a facile and simple impregnation and chemical reduction method and explored their catalytic performance towards hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis dehydrogenation. Interestingly, the resultant Pt0.5Ni0.5/g-C3N4 catalyst affords superior performance, including 100% conversion, 100% H2 selectivity, yielding the extraordinary initial total turnover frequency (TOF) of 250.8 molH2 min−1 (molPt)−1 for hydrogen evolution from AB at 10 °C, a relatively low activation energy of 38.09 kJ mol−1, and a remarkable reusability (at least 10 times), which surpass most of the noble metal heterogeneous catalysts. This notably improved activity is attributed to the charge interaction between PtNi NPs and g-C3N4 support. Especially, the nitrogen-containing functional groups on g-C3N4, serving as the anchoring sites for PtNi NPs, may be beneficial for becoming a uniform distribution and decreasing the particle size for the NPs. Our work not only provides a cost-effective route for constructing high-performance catalysts towards the hydrogen evolution of AB but also prompts the utilization of g-C3N4 in energy fields.

Abstract
As a typical chemical hydride, ammonia borane (AB) has received extensive attention because of its safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. The aim of this work was to develop a cost-efficient and highly reactive catalyst for hydrolyzing AB. Herein, we synthesized a series of CuxCo1–xMoO4 dispersed on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to dehydrogenate AB. Among those CuxCo1–xMoO4/g-C3N4 catalysts, Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 exhibited the highest site time yield (STY) value of 75.7 m o l H 2 m o l c a t − 1 m i n − 1 with a low activation energy of 14.46 kJ mol−1. The STY value for Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 was about 4.3 times as high as that for the unsupported Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4, indicating that the g-C3N4 support plays a crucial role in improving the catalytic activity. Considering its low cost and high catalytic activity, our Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 catalyst is a strong candidate for AB hydrolysis for hydrogen production in practical applications.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the synergetic effect of confined ultrasmall metal clusters and zeolite frameworks is an efficient strategy for improving the catalytic performance of metal nanocatalysts. Herein, it is demonstrated that the synergetic effect of ultrasmall ruthenium (Ru) clusters and intrinsic Brønsted acidity of zeolite frameworks can significantly promote the hydrogen generation of ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis. Ultrasmall Ru clusters are embedded onto the silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-34 (CHA) and various aluminosilicate zeolites (MFI, *BEA, and FAU) with tunable acidities by a facile incipient wetness impregnation method. Evidenced by high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, the sub-nanometric Ru clusters are uniformly distributed throughout the zeolite crystals. The X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements reveal the existence of Ru-H species between Ru clusters and adjacent Brønsted acid sites of zeolites, which could synergistically activate AB and water molecules, significantly enhancing the hydrogen evolution rate of AB hydrolysis. Notably, the Ru/SAPO-34-0.8Si (Si/Al = 0.8) and Ru/FAU (Si/Al = 30) catalysts with strong acidities afford high turnover frequency values up to 490 and 627 min-1, respectively. These values are more than a 13-fold enhancement than that of the commercial Ru/C catalyst, and among the top level over other heterogeneous catalysts tested under similar conditions.

Abstract
An innovative approach is presented for portable and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria. A novel synthetic hybrid nanocomposite encapsulating platinum nanoparticles, as a highly efficient catalyst, catalyzes the hydrolysis of the ammonia-borane complex to generate hydrogen gas. The nanocomposites are used as a label for immunoassays. A portable hand-held hydrogen detector combined with nanocomposite-induced signal conversion was applied for point-of-care testing of pathogenic bacteria. A hand-held hydrogen detector was used as the transducer. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157: H7), as detection target, formed a sandwich structure with magnetic beads and hybrid nanocomposites. Magnetic beads were used for separation of the sandwich structure, and hybrid nanocomposites as catalysts to catalyze the generation of hydrogen from ammonia-borane. The generated hydrogen was detected by a hydrogen detector using an electrochemical method. E. coli O157:H7 has a detection limit of 10 CFU·mL-1. The immunosensor made the hand-held hydrogen detector a point-of-care meter to be used outdoors for the detection and quantification of targets beyond hydrogen. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of one-pot synthetic peptide-Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid nanocomposites embedded PtNPs (PPNs), encapsulating many Pt particles. The PPNs acts as an ideal immunoprobe for hand-held H2 detector signal readouts, by transforming pathogenic bacteria recognition events into H2 signals.

Abstract
The synthesis of ultrafine and well-distributed rhodium nanoparticles (NPs) with high efficiency toward methanolysis of ammonia borane (AB) is crucially important but challenging. A facile approach has been developed for synthesizing ultrafine and uniform Rh NPs deposited on carbon by using the small soluble organic molecule (SOM) of l-proline (PRO) as capping agent (Rh-PRO/C). The enrichment of N,O-coordination sites for the metal precursor by using PRO was found to be the key to the synthesis Rh-PRO/C. The as-prepared Rh-PRO/C showed high catalytic activity for ammonia borane methanolysis with the highest total turnover frequency (TOF) of 1035 mol H 2 (molRh min)-1 under basic conditions, which was three times higher than that of the state-of-the-art Rh-based catalysts. The excellent catalytic performance of Rh-PRO/C was ascribed to the well-dispersed Rh NPs and the PRO-functionalized metal surface, which can provide more active sites for the reaction. The merit of size-controlled synthesis combined with metal NP surface modification by SOMs is likely to be beneficial in various catalytic fields.

Abstract
Although extracting carbon atoms from carbides, as the reverse route to carbide derived carbon (CDC), may have more potentials for constructing advanced nanostructures, it has not been realized yet. As a proof of concept, in this work we realize the extraction of carbon atoms from carbide lattices by rationally controlling the reaction between carbides and Cl2. Thus, a homologous metallic W layer adhered on a WC (W/WC) heterostructure is created. Based on experimental results, such a W/WC heterostructure can be used as an efficient catalyst for the photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), where the photocurrent density at 0 V can reach up to 16 mA cm-2. Our theoretical calculations disclose that the Mott-Schottky effect accelerates electron flow across the interfaces and significantly decreases the work function of the W facet, which leads to excellent photoelectrocatalytic HER activity on the W facets. The presented results have broad implications since they demonstrate the generic capability to build homologous M/TMC heterostructures.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) is an ideal hydrogen-storage material for fuel cells but its application has been strongly limited by using rare noble-metal-based catalysts. Here we have prepared a hybrid material of Ni0.5Co0.5O nanoparticles on nitric-acid treated carbon nitride (NCN) for the hydrolysis of AB. The Ni0.5Co0.5O-NCN catalyst achieves a high total turnover frequency (TOF) value of 76.1 (H2) mol per (Cat-metal) mol min in pure water at room temperature, with a good stability by keeping 83.2% activity after 6 runs. The TOF is comparable to the best values ever reported for noble-metal-free catalysts without extra conditions such as light illumination or a strong alkaline environment. Synchrotron radiation based X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that the carbon nitride substrate has two reaction centers to form stable interfacial interaction with the NPs, in which carbon can act as the electron acceptor while nitrogen acts as the electron donor. Thus the NP-NCN system has a hybridized electronic structure which is favorable for the catalytic reaction to produce hydrogen. In-depth understanding of the interfacial interaction between NCN and NPs may also shed light on the mechanism study of various energy-related applications based on carbon nitride. Ni0.5Co0.5O on carbon nitride shows a high TOF value for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane due to the interfacial interaction.![]()

Abstract
Herein, we first describe the physical mixture of Cu(OH)2/Fe(OH)3 as a composite catalyst precursor for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) in methanol. During the initial period of catalytic reaction, Cu nanoparticles were formed in-situ. The catalytic activity of Cu nanoparticles can be significantly enhanced with the assistance of Fe species and OH-. A maximum turnover frequency (TOF) of 50.3 molH2 moltotal metal-1 min-1 (135.6 molH2 molCu-1 min-1) was achieved at ambient temperature, which is superior to those of previously reported Fe or Cu based systems.

Abstract
Bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) and Zinc Oxide photocatalysts (BiNPs/ZnO) with different Bi loadings were successfully prepared via a facile chemical method. Their morphology and structure were thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis (Ultraviolet-Visible) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that a modification of hexagonal wurtzite-phase ZnO nanoparticles with Bi is achievable with an intimate interfacial interaction within its composites. The performance of the photocatalytic Cr(VI) removal under visible light irradiation indicated that BiNPs/ZnO exhibited a superior removal performance to bare ZnO, Bi, and the counterpart sample prepared using a physical mixing method. The excellent performance of the BiNPs/ZnO photocatalysts could be ascribed to the synergistic effect between the considerable physical Cr (VI) adsorption and enhanced absorption intensity in the visible light region, due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as well as the effective transfer and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers at the interface.

Abstract
HKUST-1 serves as a template for an imidazolium-based ionic polymer; anion exchange and subsequent topotactic transformation generate hollow nitrogen-doped porous carbon incorporated with Cu-based alloy nanoparticles.
Hollow carbon materials with versatile chemical compositions and complicated shell architectures hold great promise in heterogeneous catalysis. However, it is a daunting challenge to synthesize metal alloy nanoparticles (NPs) supported by hollow nanostructures. Herein, we present a simple approach for facile fabrication of Pd–Cu alloy NPs embedded in hollow octahedral N-doped porous carbon (Pd–Cu@HO-NPC). The hollow material is derived from HKUST-1 coated by an imidazolium-based ionic polymer (ImIP). Water-sensitive HKUST-1 is simultaneously removed in the process of anion exchange between bromide in the ImIP shell and tetrachloropalladate in aqueous medium. The released Cu(ii) ions and exchanged Pd(ii) ions serve as Cu and Pd sources in the subsequent pyrolysis. The resultant Pd–Cu@HO-NPC exhibits high catalytic activity, selectivity, stability and recyclability in the aerobic oxidation of hydrocarbons. More attractively, the synthetic strategy is of excellent generality, and could be extended to the synthesis of Cu-based bimetallic and trimetallic alloy NPs, such as Pt–Cu@HO-NPC and Pd–Pt–Cu@HO-NPC. This work highlights the superiority of water-sensitive metal–organic frameworks in the ingenious design of hollow carbon materials incorporated with well-dispersed metal alloy NPs.

Abstract
The development of highly-efficient heterogeneous supported catalysts for catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane to yield hydrogen is of significant importance considering the versatile usages of hydrogen. Herein, we reported the in situ synthesis of AgCo bimetallic nanoparticles supported on g-C₃N₄ and concomitant hydrolysis of ammonia borane for hydrogen evolution at room temperature. The as-synthesized Ag0.1Co0.9/g-C₃N₄ catalysts displayed the highest turnover frequency (TOF) value of 249.02 mol H₂·(molAg·min)−1 for hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, which was higher than many other reported values. Furthermore, the Ag0.1Co0.9/g-C₃N₄ catalyst could be recycled during five consecutive runs. The study proves that Ag0.1Co0.9/g-C₃N₄ is a potential catalytic material toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted remarkable research interests in heterogeneous catalysis due to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, only small-size Au NPs (<7 nm) exhibit promising catalytic activity. In this work, dumbbell-like Au NPs (D-Au NPs) with average size of 37 × 11 nm were prepared by a secondary seed-mediated growth method to serve as novel photocatalyst for ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis in the solution with specific pH value. Our results demonstrate that ⅰ) the strengthened LSPR compensation effect could effectively remedy the loss of catalytic activity resulting from the size enlarging of D-Au NPs, proven by that the heating power of a single Au nanoparticle (Ps) and turnover frequency of AB molecules within 10 minutes of D-Au NPs are 52.5 and 3.89 times higher than that of spherical Au NPs; ⅱ) the extinction coefficient and Ps of D-Au NPs are almost 2.72 and 2.42 times as high as that of rod-like Au NPs, demonstrating the promoting structure-property relationship of dumbbell-like structure.; ⅲ) when the pH value of AB solution was lower than 6.0, the hydrolysis rate was highly promoted, indicating that H+ ions play an active role in the hydrolysis process. This work greatly extends the application of noble metals and provides a new insight into AB hydrolysis.

Abstract
Bimetallic Pd-Au nanoparticles (NPs) usually show superior catalytic performances over their single-component counterparts, the general and facile synthesis of subnanometer-scaled Pd-Au NPs still remains a great challenge, especially for electronegative ultrafine bimetallic NPs. Here, we develop an anion-exchange strategy for the synthesis of ultrafine Pd-Au alloy NPs. Simple treatment of main-chain imidazolium-based organic polymer (IOP) with HAuCl4 and Na2PdCl4, followed by reduction with NaBH4 generated Pd-Au alloy NPs (Pd-Au/IOP). These NPs possess an unprecedented tiny size of 1.50 ± 0.20 nm and are uniformly dispersed over IOP. The electronic structure of the surface Pd and Au atoms is optimized via electron exchange during alloying, a net charge flowing resulting from counteranions is injected into Au and Pd to form a strong ensemble effect, which is responsible for a remarkably higher catalytic activity of Pd-Au/IOP in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane than those of monometallic counterparts.

Abstract
Bimetallic cost-effective CoNi nanoparticles (NPs) are conveniently supported on titanium carbides (MXene) by a simple one-step wet-chemical method. The synthesized CoNi/MXene catalysts are characterized by XPS, TEM, STEM-HAADF and ICP-AES. The as-prepared CoNi NPs with a size of 2.8 nm are well dispersed on the MXene surface. It is found that among the CoNi bimetallic system, Co0.7Ni0.3 shows the best performance toward catalyzing ammonia borane (AB) decomposition with a turnover frequency value of 87.6 molH2 molcat−1 min−1 at 50 °C. The remarkable catalytic performance is attributed to the mild affiliation of MXene to NPs, which not only stabilizes NPs to maintain a good dispersion but also leaves sufficient surface active sites to facilitate the catalytic reaction. Bimetallic cost-effective CoNi nanoparticles are supported on MXene by a simple one-step wet-chemical method. The Co0.7Ni0.3/MXene shows the best performance toward catalyzing AB decomposition with TOF of 87.6 molH2 molcat−1 min−1 at 50 °C.![]()

Abstract
From the viewpoint of controlling the visible-light-driven activities of catalysts containing metal nanoparticles (NPs) by tuning the microstructures of semiconducting supports, we employed a postsynthetic thermal modification approach to prepare carbon nitride (C3N4) species featuring different microstructures and then we synthesized Co and Ni NPs supported by these C3N4 species, which were used to catalyze the room-temperature H2 evolution from ammonia borane (NH3BH3). The systematic investigation showed that the catalysts had different activities under light irradiation. Compared with the pristine C3N4-based catalyst, all the modified C3N4-based catalysts had enhanced activities. The highest active Co catalyst with a total turnover frequency of 93.8 min-1 was successfully obtained, which exceeded the values of all the reported heterogeneous noble metal-free catalysts. The structure characterizations indicated that the postmodified porous C3N4 species had the different band structures, photoluminescence lifetime, and photocurrent density under visible light irradiation, leading to the different separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. These characteristics helped us regulate the electronic characteristics of Co and Ni NPs in the supported catalysts and then led to the significantly different and enhanced activity in the visible-light-driven H2 evolution.
