Herein, we report a simple in situ co-reduction synthesis of NiPt nanoparticles supported on CeO_2 nanospheres and their superior catalytic performance for hydrogen generation from alkaline solution of hydrazine at room temperature. Thanks to the strong electronic interaction arising from synergistic effect at atomic lever and support-metal interaction between NiPt and CeO_2.The obtained Ni_5Pt_5-CeO_2 catalyst exhibits 100% hydrogen selectivity and superior catalytic performance for hydrogen generation from alkaline solution of hydrazine at room temperature, with a TOF value of 416 h 1.展开更多

However, the typical photocatalytic activity of unmodified BiVO4 for the degradation of organic pollutants is still not impressive. To address this limitation, we studied Fe2O3-modified porous BiVO4 nanoplates. Compared with unmodified BiVO4, the Fe2O3-modified porous Bi VO4 nanoplates showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activities in decomposing both dye and colorless pollutant models, such as rhodamine B(Rh B) and phenol,respectively. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants for the degradation of RhB and phenol on Fe2O3-modified BiVO4 porous nanoplates are 27 and 31 times larger than that of pristine Bi VO4, respectively. We also found that the Fe2O3 may act as an efficient non-precious metal co-catalyst, which is responsible for the excellent photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3/BiVO4.Graphical Abstract Fe2O3, as a cheap and efficient co-catalyst, could greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of Bi VO4 porous nanoplates in decomposing organic pollutants.展开更多

Herein, Co-CeOx nanoclusters have been successfully anchored on a three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene hydrogel （NGH） by a simple coreduction method and further used as efficient catalysts to catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. Thanks to the strong synergistic electronic effect between Co and CeOx, as well as the strong metal-support interaction between Co-CeOx and 3D NGH, the as-synthesized Co-（CeOx）0.91/NGH catalyst exhibits superior catalytic activity toward hydrolysis of ammonia borane, with the turnover frequency （TOF） value of 79.5 min 1, which is almost 13 times higher than that of Co]NGH, and higher than most of the reported noble-metal-free catalysts.展开更多
