Ammonia borane (AB) has been considered as a chemical hydrogen storage materials, because of its high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6 wt%), nontoxicity, and stability under ordinary conditions. Hydrogen stored in AB can be liberated by thermolysis or solvolysis. Hydrolysis and methanolysis are the two solvolysis reactions producing hydrogen gas from AB. Although the hydrolysis of AB has been investigated for years extensively, the methanolysis of AB has been considered as an alternative way of releasing hydrogen gas due to many advantages over hydrolysis. As for the hydrolysis, the hydrogen liberation from the methanolysis of AB also realized in the presence of a suitable catalyst. This dissertation covers the preparation and characterization of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on the surface of nanooxide materials (Rh(0)/nanooxides), namely hydroxyapatite, silica, alumina and ceria, as well as the examination of their catalytic activities in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of AB. Firstly, Rh(0)/nanooxides were prepared in a simple and reproducible way by impregnating rhodium(III) or (II) ions on the surface of nanooxide followed by their reduction during the methanolysis of AB. They were then isolated from the reaction medium and characterized by using a combination of advance analytical techniques including ATR-IR, PXRD, TEM, HR-TEM, TEM – EDX, STEM-EDS, XPS, SEM, SEM-EDX, ICP-OES and N2 adsorption/desorption. Then, the kinetics of methanolysis of AB in the presence of Rh(0)/nanooxides were examined depending on catalyst concentration and temperature as well as catalytic lifetime, and heterogeneity tests were performed. Furthermore, the formation kinetics vi of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanosilica, nanoalumina or nanoceria during hydrogen generation from methanolysis of AB were investigated by using the hydrogen generation as reporter reaction.

Water soluble laurate-stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane: High activity and long lifetime
DURAP, FEYYAZ; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2009-09-01)
The simplest amine-borane, considered as solid hydrogen storage material, ammonia-borane (H(3)NBH(3)) can release hydrogen gas upon catalytic hydrolysis under mild conditions. Herein, we report the preparation of a novel catalyst, water dispersible laurate-stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters from the dimethylamine-borane reduction of ruthenium(III) chloride in sodium laurate solution at room temperature. The ruthenium nanoclusters in average size of 2.6 +/- 1.2 nm were isolated from the solution and well c...
Ruthenium nanoparticles supported on nanotubes/nanowires: highly active and long lived nanocatalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane /
Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2016)
Ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) is one of the most promising solid hydrogen storage materials due to its high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6% wt.), non-toxicity and high stability under ambient conditions. Ammonia borane can release hydrogen upon hydrolysis in the presence of suitable catalysts even at room temperature. Although a large variety of catalysts have been tested in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, the development of efficient, long-lived, reusable catalysts is still an imp...
Palladium nanoparticles supported on cobalt(II,III) oxide nanocatalyst: High reusability and outstanding catalytic activity in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2022-11-01)
A new palladium(0) nanocatalyst is developed to enhance the catalytic efficiency of precious metal catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Magnetically separable Pd-0/Co3O4 nanocatalyst can readily be obtained by the reduction of palladium(II) cations impregnated on cobalt(II, III) oxide at room temperature. The obtained Pd-0/Co3O4 nanocatalyst with 0.25% wt. palladium loading has outstanding catalytic activity with a record turnover frequency of 3048 min(-1) ...
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...
Dihydrogen Phosphate Stabilized Ruthenium(0) Nanoparticles: Efficient Nanocatalyst for The Hydrolysis of Ammonia-Borane at Room Temperature
DURAP, FEYYAZ; Caliskan, Salim; Özkar, Saim; Karakas, Kadir; Zahmakıran, Mehmet (2015-07-01)
Intensive efforts have been devoted to the development of new materials for safe and efficient hydrogen storage. Among them, ammonia-borane appears to be a promising candidate due to its high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity. Ammonia-borane can release hydrogen on hydrolysis in aqueous solution under mild conditions in the presence of a suitable catalyst. Herein, we report the synthesis of ruthenium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by dihydrogenphosphate anions with an average particle size of 2.9 +/- 0.9 n...
