Non-noble bimetallic CuCo nanoparticles encapsulated in the pores of metal–organic frameworks: synergetic catalysis in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane for hydrogen generation

Non-noble bimetallic CuCo alloy nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated in the pores of MIL-101 without aggregation on the external surfaces of the host framework, which exhibit excellent catalytic activity for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.
