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 centrifugation and characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM and XPS techniques. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles have an average particle size of 3.0 ± 0.7 nm. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles were found as highly active and stable catalyst with 5300 turnovers over 52 hours in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. Carbon disulfide poisoning test was performed to show that PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles are true heterogeneous catalyst for the methanolysis of AB. This report also includes the kinetic studies of methanolysis of AB catalyzed by PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles for understanding the effects of substrate concentration, catalyst concentration, and temperature. Activation parameters (Ea, ΔH and ΔS) of catalytic methanolysis reaction of AB were calculated from the evaluation of kinetic data.

Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles : highly active and cost effective catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane Şencanlı, Selin; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2013) 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 st...
Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) stabilized cobalt(0) nanoparticles: A cost-effective and magnetically recoverable catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane Karahan, Senem; Özkar, Saim (2015-02-09) Herein, we report the in situ generation, isolation and characterization of cobalt(0) nanoparticles, stabilized by poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), PSSMA, and their catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane (HB). Cobalt(0) nanoparticles having average particle size of 3.1 +/- 0.5 nm were prepared by in situ reduction of cobalt(II) chloride in aqueous solution of hydrazine borane in the presence of PSSMA, isolated magnetically from the catalytic reaction solution using a magnet, an...
Polybenzimidazole based nanocomposite membranes with enhanced proton conductivity for high temperature PEM fuel cells Ozdemir, Yagmur; Uregen, Nurhan; DEVRİM, YILSER (2017-01-26) In this study, phosphoric acid doped PBI nanocomposite membranes were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of inorganic nanoparticles in PBI polymer followed by phosphoric acid (H3PO4) doping for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC). All of the PBI composite membranes were cast from the same FBI polymer with the same molecular weight. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2) and inorganic proton conductor zirconium phosphate (ZrP) were used as inorganic fillers. The PB...
Nanoalumina-supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles as catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (2017-10-01) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles were in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate and supported on the surface of nanoalumina yielding Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) which is highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation can be followed just by monitoring the volume of hydrogen gas evolved from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. The evaluation of the kinetic data gives valuable insights to the slow, continuous n...
CO Oxidation over Mono and Bi-Metallic Sequentially Impregnated Pd-Pt Catalysts Kaya, Sarp; Üner, Deniz (2008-01-01) The CO oxidation capability of sequentially impregnated Pd-Pt/gamma-Al(2)O(3) bimetallic catalysts was tested. The CO oxidation light-off curves were hierarchically spaced between monometallic Pd and monometallic Pt, which showed the highest and lowest activity, respectively, indicating that sequential impregnation did not result in the formation of bimetallic particles, but that the catalysts remained as monometallic entities over the support surface. An investigation of the effect of CO partial pressure o...
