Cobalt-boride(Co-B)is emerging as one of the promising materials in the base-hydrolytic dehydrogena-tion of ammonia-borane(AB).In order to avoid the low specific area and poor catalytic capacity of Co-B catalyst caused by aggregation arising from the strong reducing property and rapid reaction condensation of sodium borohy-dride(NaBH4),novel cobalt boride/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(Co-B/CTAB)catalyst was obtained via solid-state grinding at room temperature,and the catalyst was further characterized by XRD,SEM,XPS and BET.The hydrogen generation rate(HGR)was then determined by the hydrolysis reaction of AB.The SEM images indicate that a lot of irregular folds and curled edges are formed on the sample with a maximum surface area of 145.57 m2/g,thus possibly resulting in the high hydrogen production(HGR was 10.68 L·min-1·g-1),which may be attributed to CTAB that provide favorable large specific surface area and abundant porous structure.Additionally,catalyst will not be affected by solvants during solid-state reaction.As a diluent,the surfactant CTAB hindered the reaction rate of sodium borohydride reduction to cobalt boride and obtained the novel catalyst with a large specific surface area.
