Understanding the mechanisms of action for base metal catalysis of transformations typically associated with precious metals is essential for the design of technologies for a sustainable energy economy. Isolated transition-metal and post-transition-metal catalysts on oxides such as silica are generally proposed to effect hydrogenation and dehydrogenation by a mechanism featuring either sigma-bond metathesis or heterolytic bond cleavage as the key bond activation step. In this work, an organovanadium(III) complex on silica, which is a precatalyst for both olefin hydrogenation and alkane dehydrogenation, is interrogated by a series of reaction kinetics and isotopic labeling studies in order to shed light on the operant mechanism for hydrogenation. The kinetic dependencies of the reaction components are potentially consistent with both the sigma-bond metathesis and the heterolytic bond activation mechanisms; however, a key deuterium incorporation experiment definitively excludes the simple sigma-bond metathesis mechanism. Alternatively, a two electron redox cycle, rarely invoked for homologous catalyst systems, is also consistent with experimental observations. Evidence supporting the formation of a persistent vanadium(III) hydride upon hydrogen treatment of the as-prepared material is also presented.

Transition Metal Nanoparticles in Catalysis for the Hydrogen Generation from the Hydrolysis of Ammonia-Borane Zahmakıran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-09-01) Over the last decade, transition metal nanoparticles have attracted much attention owing to their unique properties, different to their bulk counterparts, which facilitate their application in different fields from materials science to engineering. Of particular interest, the use of transition metal nanoparticles in catalysis has brought transcendent efficiency in terms of activity, selectivity and lifetime to heterogeneous catalysis. In this account, we summarize the recent developments in the synthesis ro...
Use of Geospatial Queries for Optimum Drilling and Blasting Practices in Surface Mining Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa (2018-11-22) Increasing demand of the modern society for energy and raw material strengthens the role of mining in sustainable development. The basic production cycle of surface mining is initiated by drilling and blasting the material that will be loaded, hauled, and dumped by various mobile equipment. Performance measurement and analysis of all these production stages by the utilization of available technology is of crucial importance for continuous improvement of modern mine operations. Today, most of the mobile equi...
Electronic properties of transition metal oxides Mete, Ersen; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi; Department of Physics (2003) Transition metal oxides constitute a large class of materials with variety of very interesting properties and important technological utility. A subset with perovskite structure has been the subject matter of the current theoretical investigation with an emphasis on their electronic and structural behavior. An analytical and a computational method are used to calculate physical entities like lattice parameters, bulk moduli, band structures, density of electronic states and charge density distributions for v...
Hydrothermal method for doping of zinc oxide nanowires and fabrication of ultraviolet photodetectors Afal, Ayşegül; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Nanotechnology comprises of the understanding and control of materials and processes at the nanoscale. Among various nanostructured materials, semiconducting nanowires attract much interest for their novel physical properties and potential device applications. The unique properties of these nanowires are based on their high surface to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Zinc oxide, having a direct, wide bandgap and large exciton binding energy, is highly appealing for optoelectronic devices. Due to...
Meso-scale finite element modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites Haydar, Altay; Esat, Volkan; Mechanical Engineering (2021-12) Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymer composites (CNTRPs) are promising materials which can be utilized in a variety of industries. Several experimental research studies have been conducted to determine the mechanical properties of CNTRPs, however results have not been conclusive. In this study, meso-scale representative volume elements (RVEs) of straight and coiled CNT (CCNT) reinforced epoxy composites were analysed by using commercial finite element analysis software MSC Marc-Mentat. CNTs were randoml...
