N2 - Samples of dispersed metallic Co and Co0.9Cu0.1 alloy were prepared through the reductive thermolysis of metal precursors. This study represents the first comparative analysis of the catalytic activity and stability of the metals and oxidized metal samples in the hydrolysis of three boron-containing hydrides: NaBH4, NH3BH3, and (CH2NH2BH3)2. It was shown that the oxygen-containing layer on the metal is directly involved in the catalytic process, and additional oxidation of the metals enhances the catalytic activity and prolongs the stability during repeated reaction cycles. The results obtained and literature analysis allow us to suggest that the reducibility of cobalt oxide phases and their amount in the catalyst play a crucial role. Only oxides with high reducibility may act as catalysts in the hydrolysis of boranes (NH3BH3, (CH2NH2BH3)2). The easier the oxide is reduced, the higher the concentration of active CoxB centers is formed under the action of the reaction medium, and the higher the initial rate of hydrogen generation will be observed. On the other hand, a deficit of oxide phase during the longer stability tests may restrict the generation of fresh CoxB and complicate the water activation process considered in literature as a rate-determining step.
