Nickel ferrite platinum nanoparticles: Highly active catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2025-03-05)
Magnetically separable platinum(0) nanoparticles are obtained by depositing them on the surface of magnetic nickel ferrite powder. The reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride on the surface of nickel ferrite powder re...
Oxide coated nickel powder as support for platinum(0) nanoparticles: Magnetically separable catalysts for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane
Akbayrak, Serdar; Çakmak, Gülhan; Öztürk, Tayfur; Özkar, Saim (2024-10-15)
We report the development of a novel method for the preparation of magnetically separable platinum nanoparticles. Magnetic nickel nanopowder is initially synthesized in a radiofrequency plasma reactor where in-line passiva...
Giant, Submicron Size, Yet Nearly Uniform Ir0∼30,000,000 Particles: Synthesis, “Raspberry” Structure, and Resultant Insights into Their Mechanism of Formation
Özkar, Saim; MacHale, Luke T.; Finke, Richard G. (2023-01-01)
Synthetic conditions have been discovered that yield previously unknown massive, 0.230 ± 0.029 μm (i.e., submicron-sized), yet still near-uniform size, still near-monodisperse, ca. Ir0∼30,000,000 particles. These are the f...
Increasing the catalytic efficiency of rhodium(0) nanoparticles in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Özkar, Saim (2023-01-01)
It reviews the papers reporting on the use of rhodium nanocatalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane in the following groups: (i) water soluble rhodium complexes, (ii) colloidal nanoparticles of...
Nanotitania supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles as active catalyst for releasing hydrogen from dimethylamine borane
Hammoodi Yousif Al-Areedhee, Ahmed; Karaboğa, Seda; Morkan, İzzet Amour; Özkar, Saim (2023-01-01)
We reports the ex situ preparation of nanotitania supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles (NPs) and their catalytic testing in dehydrogenation of dimethylamine borane (DMAB) in toluene solvent. Ru0/TiO2 NPs are prepared follo...
