Hydrolytic dehydrogenation of amine-boranes catalyzed by graphene supported rhodium–nickel nanoparticles

• One-step synthesis of graphene supported RhNi NPs
• The catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity.
• The catalysts show good durable stability.

Well dispersed rhodium–nickel (RhNi) nanoparticles (NPs) supported on graphene have been synthesized through an in situ co-reduction procedure under ambient condition, which shows high catalytic activity and durability for hydrolysis of ammonia borane and methylamine borane.
