Ruthenium and Platinum-Modified Titanium Dioxide Support for NaBH Hydrolysis.

Highly stable platinum (Pt) and ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts on titanium oxide (TiO) nanoparticle support were prepared. The productivity of hydrogen generation from sodium borohydride (NaBH) hydrolysis was observed to be as high as 95%. The activation energies for the hydrolysis reaction in the presence of Ru/TiO in aqueous and alkaline solutions were 62.
