Efficient bimetallic nanocatalysts based on non-noble metals are highly desired for the development of new energy storage materials. In this work, we report a simple method for the synthesis of highly dispersed CuNi catalysts supported on mesoporous carbon or silica nanospheres using low-cost metal nitrate precursors. The mesoporous carbon-supported Cu0.5Ni0.5 nanocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane and decomposition of hydrous hydrazine with 100% hydrogen selectivity in aqueous alkaline solution at 60 degrees C. The chemical composition and size of the metal particles, which have a significant influence on the catalytic properties of the supported bimetallic CuNi materials, can readily be controlled by adjusting the metal loading and ratio of metal precursors. An exceedingly high turnover frequency of 3288 (mol(H2), mol(metal)(-1) h(-1)) and complete reaction within 1 mm in dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane were achieved over a tailored-made catalyst obtained through precise monitoring of metal particle size, composition, and support properties.
