▎ 摘　　要

Two-dimensional graphene material is doped with Ni-B nanoalloys via a chemical reduction method, and shows that the optimal graphene doped with Ni (0.14 wt.%) and B (0.63 wt.%) has a hydrogen capacity of 2.81 wt.% at 77 K and 106 kPa, which is more than twice of that of the pristine graphene. The measured adsorption isotherms of hydrogen and nitrogen suggest that the Ni-B nanoalloys function as catalytic centers to induce the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen (spillover) on the graphene. The Ni-B nanoalloys without using any noble metal may be a promising catalyst for hydrogen storage application. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
