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

Figure 5

Variation of the time consumed for generation of half amount of H2 gas from that theoretically calculated (47.4 mL) when 0.4% NaBH4 solution (5 mL) was explored using 5 mg of pure Ru0 (dashed line), pure Co, and Co-Ru alloy catalysts at 30°C. Inset depicts an FESEM view of alloy microspheres.
