Hydrothermal Synthesis of Co-Ru Alloy Particle Catalysts for Hydrogen Generation from Sodium Borohydride

Figure 1

FESEM views of synthesized Co (a), Ru (b), and Co-Ru ((c), (d)) products by a hydrothermal way at 120°C for 10 h. The solution containing 0.04 CoCl2, 0.004 RuCl3, 0.08 sodium citrate, 0.33 NaOH, and 1.7 mol/L hydrazine hydrate was explored for Co-Ru fabrication, while for pure Co and Ru species, only their precursors at 0.04 mol/L and the same additives as for Co-Ru synthesis were used.
