Here, we present that transition metal(0) nanoparticles can be employed as highly active, long-lived and reusable catalyst in hydrogen generation from the boron based hydrogen storage materials for fuel cell applications. Transition metal(0) nanoparticles were prepared from the reduction of respective precursor in the presence of anionic or polymeric stabilizer. All the transition metal(0) nanoparticles (Fe, Co, Ni, Ru) prepared show very high catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride or ammonia-borane at room temperature. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by tert-butylammonium octanoate or dimethylammonium hexanoate are superb catalyst in dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane or dimethylamine borane at room temperature, respectively. Further enhancement in catalytic activity could be achieved by preparing transition metal(0) nanoclusters within supercages of zeolite-Y. Zeolite stabilized cobalt(0), nickel(0), ruthenium(0), and rhodium(0) nanoclusters are very active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride or ammonia-borane at room temperature.

Transition metal nanoparticle catalysts in releasing hydrogen from the methanolysis of ammonia borane
Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-13)
Ammonia borane (H3N center dot BH3, AB) is one of the promising hydrogen storage materials due to high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6% wt), high stability in solid state as well as in solution and nontoxicity. The methanolysis of AB is an alternative way of releasing H-2 due to many advantages over the hydrolysis such as having high stability against self releasing hydrogen gas. Here we review the reports on using various noble or non-noble metal(0) catalysts for H-2 release from the methanolysis of AB. Ni...
Cobalt-nickel-phosphorus supported on Pd-activated TiO2 (Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2) as cost-effective and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of alkaline sodium borohydride solution
Rakap, Murat; Kalu, Egwu Eric; Özkar, Saim (2011-06-23)
Catalytically active, low-cost, and reusable transition metal catalysts are desired to develop on-demand hydrogen generation system for practical onboard applications. Electrolessly deposited Pd-activated TiO2-supported Co-Ni-P ternary alloy catalyst (Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2) is employed as catalyst in the hydrolysis of alkaline sodium borohydride solution. The catalyst is found to be isolable, redispersible, and reusable in the hydrolysis of alkaline NaBH4. The reported work also includes the full experimental det...
Catalytic hydrolysis of hydrazine borane for chemical hydrogen storage: Highly efficient and fast hydrogen generation system at room temperature
Karahan, Senem; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2011-04-01)
There has been rapidly growing interest for materials suitable to store hydrogen in solid state for transportation of hydrogen that requires materials with high volumetric and gravimetric storage capacity. B-N compounds such as ammonia-triborane, ammonia-borane and amine-borane adducts are well suited for this purpose due to their light weight, high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and inclination for bearing protic (N-H) and hydridic (B-H) hydrogens. In addition to them, more recent study [261 has sho...
Hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane using cobalt-nickel-phosphorus (Co-Ni-P) catalyst supported on Pd-activated TiO2 by electroless deposition
Rakap, Murat; Kalu, Egwu Eric; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
Catalytically active, low-cost, and reusable transition metal catalysts are desired to develop on-demand hydrogen generation system for practical onboard applications. By using electroless deposition method, we have prepared the Pd-activated TiO2-supported Co-Ni-P ternary alloy catalyst (Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2) that can effectively promote the hydrogen release from ammonia-borane aqueous solution. Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2 catalysts are stable enough to be isolated as solid materials and characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX. ...
Water dispersible acetate stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters as catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohyride
Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-02)
The development of new storage materials will facilitate the use of hydrogen as a major energy vector in near future. In the hydrogen economy, chemical hydrides such as NaBH4, KBH4, LiH, NaH have been tested as precursor materials for supplying hydrogen at ambient temperature. Among these chemical hydrides, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) provides a safe and practical mean of producing hydrogen. Sodium borohydride is stable in basic solution; however, hydrolysis generates hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitab...
