Developing an efficient catalyst for H2 generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in a controllable and sustainable way is a prerequisite to implementing H2 as an alternative energy vector. To meet this requirement, the present work designs and constructs a potential Ag@Pd core–shell catalys...
