The mesoporous carbon material of Fe-MC loaded iron nanoparticles was obtained by pyrolysis ofFe-MIL-88A under nitrogen and reducing gas atmosphere. Addition of Ru(III) in the liquid phase,Ru(III) was reduced to ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) by iron nanoparticles (FeNPs), led to theformation of mesoporous carbon composite of Ru@Fe-MC, where 0.77 wt% of Ru was completelywrapped on the surface of iron nanoparticles. The hydrolysis performance of Ru@Fe-MC toaminoborane was studied and the results showed a good catalytic performance, where the conversionfrequency (TOF) was found to be 234.3 mol H2 min-1 (mol Ru)-1, and the activation energy was 33.6 kJ/ mol. The reusbility catalyst performance of Ru@Fe-MC remained highly active after ten experiments.
