Highly active : Surfactant‐free Ni nanocatalysts were highly dispersed into the nanoporous carbon support MSC‐30 through a dry process, and the obtained Ni@MSC‐30 catalyzed the generation of H 2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature (see picture). The improvement of the performance of surfactant‐free non‐noble metal nanocatalysts is a promising step toward the application of NH 3 BH 3 as an applicable chemical hydrogen storage material.
