1. A method of hydrogen generation, the method comprising:
contacting sodium borohydride and water in the presence of a catalyst comprising a nanocomposite comprising graphitic C3N4, V2O5, and MgAl2O4 in a mass relationship to each other in a range of from 5 to 15:2 to 7:75 to 95, at a temperature in a range of from 10 to 80° C., thereby catalyzing the hydrogen generation at a hydrogen generation rate in a range of from 2500 to 5000 mL/(min·g).
