Trimetallic core–shell Cu@CoNi nanoparticles (NPs) supported on graphene with different compositions are synthesized through a one‐step in situ reduction process by using methylamine borane (MeAB) as a reducing agent. The as‐synthesized Cu‐core/CoNi‐shell NPs are well dispersed on graphene. Among the catalysts studied, Cu 0.1 @Co 0.45 Ni 0.45 /graphene displays the highest catalytic performance toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB), with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 15.46 mol H 2  min −1 (mol catalyst) −1 , which is higher than those of most reported non‐noble‐metal‐based NPs, and even higher than many noble‐metal‐based NPs. Additionally, the as‐synthesized Cu 0.1 @Co 0.45 Ni 0.45 /graphene NPs reduced by MeAB exhibit a higher catalytic activity than those reduced by NaBH 4 and AB. Furthermore, the as‐prepared NPs have good durability and magnetic recyclability for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB and MeAB.
