In situ facile synthesis of Rh nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes as highly active catalysts for H2 generation from NH3BH3 hydrolysis

A facile in situ one-step method has been successfully applied for synthesis of carbon nanotubes supported rhodium nanoparticles (Rh(0)/CNTs), which exhibited excellent catalytic activity with TOF value of 706 mol H2 (mol Rh min)−1 for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB under ambient atmosphere at room temperature.
