Popis: Ru and Co are highly dispersed on the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles with an easy coprecipitation method to fabricate a novel Ru-based catalyst (Ru/Co-TiO2). The fabricated Ru/Co-TiO2 catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance for promoting NaBH4 hydrolysis in alkaline medium, showing an impressive hydrogen generation rate per gram Ru as high as 172 L min−1 gRu-1, which is better than most of recently reported Ru-based catalysts. In addition, the fabricated Ru/Co-TiO2 catalyst also shows excellent durability in cycle use, with only 2.9% activity loss after being used for 5 cycles. These advantages make the developed Ru/Co-TiO2 catalyst a potential choice for promoting hydrogen generation from NaBH4 hydrolysis.
