In general, the catalytic activity of transition metal nanoparticles increases as the fraction of atoms on the surface increases with decreasing particle size. However, transition metal nanoparticles tend to agglomerate into bulk metal in solution. In order to prevent agglomeration stabilizing agent can be used in the formation of stable transition metal nanoparticles in solution. In this study, one of the most available commercial polymers was used to provide steric stabilization during the formation of stable metal nanoparticles. In this dissertation, we report the in-situ preparation and characterization of poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSMA) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles and their catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane (HB). PSSMA stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles (PSSMA-Ni NPs) were in-situ prepared from reduction of nickel(II) chloride by hydrazine borane in the presence of PSSMA as stabilizer. Nickel(0) nanoparticles with an average particle size of 8.3±2.3 nm were isolated from reaction medium by centrifugation and characterized by using TEM, EDX, XRD, XPS and UV-Vis techniques. PSSMA-Ni NPs were found as highly active and cost effective catalyst. They provide 1600 turnovers over 18 h for the hydrolysis of HB at room temperature before deactivation. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of HB catalyzed by PSSMA-Ni NPs were studied depending on the catalyst concentration, substrate concentration and temperature and the apparent activation parameters (Eaapp, ΔH#,app and ΔS#,app) of the catalytic reaction were calculated. This is the first study on the hydrolysis of HB in the presence of polymer stabilized monometallic nickel based catalyst which is higly active and cost effective.

Poly(n-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles as catalyst for hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Kılıçaslan, Nihan Zülay; Özkar, Salim; Department of Chemistry (2015) This dissertion includes the preparation and characterization of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles, and investigation of their catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from catalytic methanolysis of ammonia-borane (AB). PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles were prepared from the reduction of nickel(II) ethylhexanoate in the presence of PVP as stabilizer, by hydrazine borane at room temperature. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles were isolated from reaction medium by centr...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACROLEIN BY DIRECT AND INDIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER VIA CONTROLLED POTENTIAL ELECTROLYSIS Toppare, Levent Kamil; Akbulut, Ural (Informa UK Limited, 1990-01-01) Electroinitiated polymerization of acrolein has been achieved by controlled potential electrolysis at the reduction peak potential of the monomer for direct electron transfer. Kinetics and type of mechanism of the polymerization have been investigated. the structure of the polymer has also been examined by IR spectroscopy. in a separate experiment, a small amount of CCI4 was added to a polymerization system. Since the reduction peak potential of CCI4 appears at a more anodic region than that of acrolein on ...
Adsorption calorimetry in supported catalyst characterization: Adsorption structure sensitivity on Pt/-gamma-Al2O3 Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-15) In this study, the structure sensitivity of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide adsorption was investigated by changing the metal particle size of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. The 2% Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness method; the particle size of the catalysts was modified by calcining at different temperatures. The differential heats of adsorption of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and oxygen were measured using a SETARAM C80 Tian-Calvet calorimeter. Hydrogen chemisorption sites with low and intermedi...
Defect-controlled transport properties of metallic atoms along carbon nanotube surfaces Barinov, Alexei; Toffoli, Hande; Fabris, Stefano; Gregoratti, Luca; Aballe, Lucia; Dudin, Pavel; Baroni, Stefano; Kiskinova, Maya (American Physical Society (APS), 2007-07-01) The diffusion mechanism of indium atoms along multiwalled carbon nanotubes is studied by means of photoemission spectromicroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The unusually high activation temperature for diffusion (approximate to 700 K), the complex C 1s and In 3d(5/2) spectra, and the calculated adsorption energies and diffusion barriers suggest that the indium transport is controlled by the concentration of defects in the C network and proceeds via hopping of indium adatoms between C vacan...
Sorption of BB41 dye molecules using chitosan based particles from aqueous solutions: A kinetic and thermodynamic evaluation Demirtas, Hulya; Tasar, Seyda; Kaya, Fatih; Ozer, Ahmet (2022-08-01) In this study, starting from chitosan is a hydrophilic polymer with positively charged, it was aimed to produce chitosan-based particles and to be evaluated as a sorbent. Chitosan-based polymeric particles production was carried out by the precipitation-collection method from chitosan. Chitosan and chitosan-based sorbent were characterized. For this purpose, SEM and FTIR analyzes were used. Sorption activities of the chitosan-based polymeric particles were investigated for basic dye (basic blue 41, BB41). T...
