Safe and efficient storage of hydrogen is the key issue for the hydrogen economy. Hydrazine monohydrate is regarded as a potential hydrogen carrier. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of NiPt-MnOx supported on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) derived from annealing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at different temperatures in Ar. Interestingly, the obtained (Ni3Pt7)(0.5)-(MnOx)(0.5)/NPC-900 exhibits superior catalytic activity toward dehydrogenation of an alkaline solution of hydrazine, with initial turnover frequency values of 706 and 120 h(-1) at 323 K and room temperature, respectively. This excellent catalytic performance may have resulted from the synergistic electronic effect of NiPt and MnOx, the small size and high dispersion of NiPt-MnOx nanocatalysts, NPC as an excellent support with large pore volume, high surface area, high nitrogen content, electrical conductance, and also the high density of the metal-N active sites between NiPt-MnOx and NPC.
