原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
Controlling the electronic structure of non‐noble metal active sites is the central challenge to unlocking fast and durable hydrogen release from hydrous hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O, 8.0 wt%), a promising liquid hydrogen‐storage material. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate that TiO 2 ‐engineered NH 2 ‐MIL‐101(Cr) enables strong electronic metal–support interaction (EMSI) to generate confined electron‐rich Ni active sites with an ultrafine size of 3.2 nm, thereby markedly accelerating the rate‐determining N–H bond activation. As a result, the Ni/TiO 2 ‐NH 2 ‐MIL‐101 delivers a turnover frequency (TOF) of 422 h −1 at 343 K for N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O dehydrogenation, 28, 10, and 4 times higher than unsupported Ni NPs (15 h −1 ), Ni/MIL‐101 (42 h −1 ), and Ni/NH 2 ‐MIL‐101 (98 h −1 ), respectively, while maintaining 100% H 2 selectivity and exceptional stability over 20 cycles, outperforming the state‐of‐the‐art nonprecious metal catalysts reported for this reaction. It also exhibits superior catalytic activity and robust durability toward hydrazine borane (N 2 H 4 BH 3 , 15.4 wt%) dehydrogenation, achieving a TOF up to 881 h −1 at 343 K. These findings demonstrate that TiO 2 ‐driven electronic activation of Ni sites in MOFs offers a generalizable support‐engineering strategy for efficient and durable hydrogen production from liquid hydrogen‐storage materials.
