As a typical chemical hydride, ammonia borane (AB) has received extensive attention because of its safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. The aim of this work was to develop a cost-efficient and highly reactive catalyst for hydrolyzing AB. Herein, we synthesized a series of CuxCo1–xMoO4 dispersed on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to dehydrogenate AB. Among those CuxCo1–xMoO4/g-C3N4 catalysts, Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 exhibited the highest site time yield (STY) value of 75.7 m o l H 2 m o l c a t − 1   m i n − 1 with a low activation energy of 14.46 kJ mol−1. The STY value for Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 was about 4.3 times as high as that for the unsupported Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4, indicating that the g-C3N4 support plays a crucial role in improving the catalytic activity. Considering its low cost and high catalytic activity, our Cu0.4Co0.6MoO4/g-C3N4 catalyst is a strong candidate for AB hydrolysis for hydrogen production in practical applications.
