摘要: Abstract The structure of a cobalt-boron catalyst obtained by reduction cobalt chloride in an aqueous solution sodium borohydride at ambient temperature has been investigated TEM HR, XPS, EXAFS and X-ray diffraction method. It was found that nanoparticles the forming consisted core shell. oxygen-containing compounds (cobalt hydroxide borates) mainly reside In spite amorphous state analysis indicated presence ferromagnetic clusters with shortest Co distance about 2.5 A coordination number 2.7 which are regularly distributed within average separations 5.8 A. B bonds, short absence long distances (4.3 4.8 A) as well boron bound to hydrogen allows suggestion be made stabilization tetramers occurs due boron-hydrogen formed BH 4 − ions upon chloride. To substantiate above model active phase DFT method PBE functional plane-wave basis employed showed may exist matrix isolated from surrounding medium
