• One-step synthesize Ru NPs supported on graphene.
• Using methylamine borane as reducing agent get the best catalytic activity.
• Lowest activation energy value ever reported for catalytic hydrolysis of AB.
Ru nanoparticles supported on graphene have been synthesized via a one-step procedure using methylamine borane as reducing agent. Compared with NaBH4 and ammonia borane, the as-prepared Ru/graphene NPs reduced by methylamine borane exhibit superior catalytic activity towards the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Additionally, the Ru/graphene NPs exhibit higher catalytic activity than its graphene free counterparts, and retain 72% of their initial catalytic activity after 4 reaction cycles. A kinetic study shows that the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane is first order with respect to Ru concentration, the turnover frequency is 100 mol H2 min−1 (mol Ru)−1. The activation energy for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane in the presence of Ru/graphene NPs has been measured to be 11.7 kJ/mol, which is the lowest value ever reported for the catalytic hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.
