Highly effective graphitic carbon nitride-supported RhFe Nanoparticles (denoted as RhFe/g-C3N4) were prepared using a simple wet impregnation-reduction method for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The obtained RhFe/g-C3N4 catalyst was characterized using advanced analytical/spectroscopic techniques such as inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), X-ray spectroscopy (XPS), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The catalytic activities of RhFe/g-C3N4 catalysts with varying Rh/Fe molar ratios were investigated, demonstrating superior catalytic activity compared to monometallic Rh and Fe. The initial turnover frequency (TOF) value of the Rh0.48Fe0.52/g-C3N4 catalyst was calculated as …
