Hydrogen production from hydrazine–borane (HB) has attracted considerable attention due to the high hydrogen content and excellent water solubility of HB. However, the practical implementation of HB hydrolysis is still limited by the lack of highly active and durable catalysts. In this study, a novel Pd-PdO/MOF-808 catalyst was successfully synthesized via a solvothermal approach and comprehensively characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques. The as-prepared catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic activity toward HB hydrolysis, delivering a low activation energy of 29.50 kJ×mol⁻¹ and a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 233 min⁻¹. The superior performance is mainly attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of Pd/PdO nanoparticles throughout the MOF-808 framework, which promotes efficient interaction between active sites and HB molecules. In addition, the catalyst demonstrated excellent stability and recyclability without noticeable Pd leaching, highlighting its strong potential for sustainable hydrogen generation applications.
