TL;DR: A size-dependent activity in Pt/CNT catalyzed hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane is reported and the insights reported here may pave the way for the rational design of highly active and durable Pt catalysts for hydrogen generation.

TL;DR: An unprecedented H2 generation activity is demonstrated in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane over acid oxidation- and subsequent high temperature-treated CNT immobilized Pt nanocatalysts to combine the merits of defect-rich and oxygen group-deficient surfaces and unique textural properties of supports as well as optimum particle size of Pt.

TL;DR: In this article, the size and shape of Fe nanoparticles on the top of CNFs depended on the Fe particle reconstruction and CNF morphology, and they were synthesized by catalytic CVD on a purpose as catalysts for ammonia decomposition.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms for CH4 formation and C1-C1 coupling on a thermodynamically stable, terraced-like χ-Fe5C2 (510) surface were studied by DFT calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed first-principles calculations to determine the preferred adsorption sites and the adsorbing energies of NHx (x = 0-3) and H, and identified the transition states of the NH3 stepwise dehydrogenation reactions and the N recombination reactions on the close-packed Fe(1, 1, 0), Co(1, 1, 1), Ni(1 −1), and Ni( 1 −1) surfaces.
