Investigation of Ni_0.4Cu_0.6/POM photocatalytic hydrogen generation efficiency using ammonia borane hydrolysis

Ni and Cu were used as active components in the impregnation reduction process to create the Ni_0.4Cu_0.6/POM catalyst after supported cyclophosphazene polymer (POM) was manufactured by solvothermal technique. Hydrogen was produced through photocatalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane using the catalyst. The catalysts were evaluated using a variety of techniques, including TEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, UV-vis DRS, PL, and EIS. The Ni_0.4Cu_0.6/POM catalyst exhibits a stable spherical particle structure, according to the experimental results. After 20 cycles, the catalytic reaction still exhibits good catalytic activity with a TOF value of 1461.0 h⁻¹ under 298 K and light circumstances, which is 1.6 times that under non-light conditions.
