Graphene-supported nickel chloride and cobalt chloride nanoparticles as highly efficient catalysts for dehydrogenation of ammonia borane

Graphene-supported NiCl2 and CoCl2 nanoparticles are successfully synthesized and used for loading ammonia borane (AB). The composites achieve significantly improved hydrogen release temperatures and effective suppression of those byproducts such as ammonia, diborane and borazine during decomposition of AB.205
