Silica supported silver nanoparticles, SiO 2 ‐Ag 0 ‐NPs, catalyze the hydrolysis of BH 4 − . A comparison of the isotopic composition of the hydrogen formed in the hydrolysis of BD 4 − points out that the contribution of hydrides, the Heyrovsky mechanism, rather than that of hydrogen atoms, the Tafel mechanism, to the hydrogen evolution is considerably larger for the SiO 2 ‐Ag 0 ‐NPs catalyzed process than for the Ag 0 ‐NPs catalyzed process. This indicates some electron transfer from the SiO 2 to the silver that increases the negative charge on the Ag 0 ‐NPs.
