Popis: We provided a more stable and physically adhesive Ni–B catalyst onto a porous Ni support via a simple dipping-chemical reduction process without additional heat treatment. The morphology and the crystalline of the catalyst were found to be strongly dependent on the concentrations of Ni precursor and reductant. A steady-state production rate of hydrogen from NaBH 4 is observed in the absence of mass loss of Ni–B catalyst and the activation energy of Ni–B for hydrogen production is comparable to that of other Ni composites.
