Abstract

A fluorine-containing bimetallic nickel-ruthenium catalyst on highly disperse carbon black is synthesized based on an organometal nickel complex and a ruthenium cluster in the presence of perfluoroenanthic acid. The resulting catalyst is characterized by the XRD and energy-dispersion analyses and laser mass spectrometry. The overall composition of the catalytic system corresponds to Ni12RuF5. Calculated on the base of XRD data, the particle size is 10.5–12 nm. According to voltammetric data, the specific characteristics of the synthesized catalyst in the reaction of direct oxidation of sodium borohydride at room temperature surpass the characteristics of nickel-ruthenium catalyst described in the literature.
