Ammonia borane is a promising material for hydrogen storage. In particular, its metal-catalyzed hydrolysis, which can occur under mild conditions and release a high amount (7%–8%) of hydrogen, has attracted considerable recent attention. Most previous studies have sought to improve the hydrolysis rate, leading to a relatively asymmetric research trend, where some potential problems must be overcome before its industrialization. A comprehensive analysis and systematic overview of current research would therefore be helpful to future works. This review first discusses the hydrolysis of ammonia borane in detail. It then summarizes and analyzes recent development of metal catalysts. Some challenges related to the hydrolysis system are also discussed, and finally, some perspectives on emerging issues regarding the future development of this system are provided.

氨硼烷是一种有前途的储氢材料。特别是，其金属催化的水解反应可在温和的条件下发生，并释放出大量的氢（7％–8％），最近引起了相当大的关注。以前的大多数研究都试图提高水解速率，从而导致相对不对称的研究趋势，在此之前必须解决一些潜在的问题，使其工业化。因此，对当前研究进行全面的分析和系统的概述将有助于将来的工作。这篇综述首先详细讨论了氨硼烷的水解。然后总结并分析了金属催化剂的最新发展。还讨论了与水解系统有关的一些挑战，最后，
