Ruthenium supported on MIL-101 as an efficient catalyst for hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of amine boranes

Ultrafine Ru nanoparticles were successfully immobilized inside the pores of MIL-101 by using a simple liquid impregnation method. The turnover frequency (TOF) value of the as-synthesized 2.80 wt% Ru@MIL-101 toward catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane is 178 mol H2 min−1 (mol Ru)−1, which is among the highest values ever reported.
