Amorphous Alloy Architectures in Pore Walls: Mesoporous Amorphous NiCoB Alloy Spheres with Controlled Compositions via a Chemical Reduction.

Amorphous bimetallic borides are an emerging class of catalytic nanomaterial that has demonstrated excellent catalytic performance due to its glass-like structure, abundant unsaturated active sites, and synergistic electronic effects. However, the creation of mesoporous Earth-abundant bimetallic metal borides with tunable metal proportion remains a challenge. Herein, we develop a sophisticated and controllable dual-reducing agent strategy to synthesize the mesoporous nickel-cobalt boron (NiCoB) amorphous alloy spheres (AASs) with adjustable compositions by using a soft template-directed assembly approach. The selective use of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (Bu4PBr) is beneficial to generate well-defined mesopores because it both moderates the reduction rate by decreasing the reducibility of M2+ species and prevents the generation of soap bubbles. Our meso-Ni10.0Co74.5B15.5 AASs generate the highest catalytic performance for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB). Its high performance is attributed to the combination of optimal synergistic effects between Ni, Co, and B as well as the high surface area and the good mass transport efficiency due to the open mesopores. This work describes a systematic approach for the design and synthesis of mesoporous bimetallic borides as efficient catalysts.
