Popis: In this study, aiming to obtain high performance nanocatalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis, Co3Ni film composed of nanosheets with a mean thickness of 10 nm was fabricated by a magnetic field induced deposition process. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the as-prepared Co3Ni film is presented in both face-centered cubic phase and hexagonal close-packed phase. The nanostructured Co3Ni film catalyst showed good catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 and the rate constant was 5.77 mL·min-1. It was revealed that Co3Ni film catalysts didnt lose their catalytic original activity essentially after 10 cycles, which exhibited much improved reusability and stability compared with with recently reported nanocatalysts.
