Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanohafnia (Ru-0/HfO2) were prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(III) cations on the surface of hafnia followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride at room temperature. Ru-0/HfO2 samples were isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques including ICP-OES, BET, XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, XPS. The catalytic activity of Ru-0/HfO2 samples with various ruthenium loading in the range 0.5-5.0% wt Ru was tested in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) at room temperature. The highest catalytic activity was achieved by using 4.0% wt ruthenium loaded nanohafnia providing a turnover frequency of 170 min(-1) and an unprecedented catalytic life time (175,600 turnovers) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Ru-0/HfO2 is reusable catalyst preserving 75% of the initial catalytic activity even after the fifth reuse in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB at room temperature. Our report also includes the results of kinetic studies depending on the catalyst concentration and temperature to determine the activation energy (E-a = 65 +/- 3 kJ/mol) for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB.

Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on bare or silica coated ferrite as highly active, magnetically isolable and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane
Sarıca, Esra; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2019)
Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on bare or silica-coated magnetite are prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(Ш) ions on the surface of support followed by their reduction with aqueous solution of sodium borohydride. The materials are magnetically isolated from the reaction solution and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques including ICP-OES, BET, XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, XPS. These magnetically isolable nanoparticles are used as catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis o...

Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Ru(0)@MWCNT) were in situ formed during the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane (AB) and could be isolated from the reaction solution by filtration and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, and XPS techniques. The results reveal that ruthenium(0) nanoparticles of size in the range 1.4-3.0 nm are well-dispersed on multiwalled carbon nanotubes. They were found to be highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB wi...

Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2016-07-13)
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Pd-0/CeO2) were prepared by the impregnation of palladium(II) ions on the surface of ceria followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution at room temperature. Pd-0/CeO2 were isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDS and XPS techniques. All the results reveal that palladium(0) nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on ceria and the resulting Pd-0/CeO2 are highly active and r...
Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by metal-organic framework (ZIF-8): Highly efficient catalyst for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane and transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons using dimethylamine-borane as hydrogen source

Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8), RuNPs/ZIF-8, were reproducibly prepared by borohydride reduction of RuCl3/ZIF-(8) precatalyst in water at room temperature. The characterization of the dehydrated RuNPs/ZIF-8 was done by a combination of complimentary techniques, which reveals that the formation of well-dispersed ruthenium(0) nanoparticles (1.9 +/- 0.6 nm) on the surface of ZIF-8 by keeping the host framework intact. The catalytic activity of RuNPs/ZIF-8 was fir...
Zeolite confined palladium(0) nanoclusters as effective and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane
Rakap, Murat; Özkar, Saim (2010-02-01)
Zeolite confined palladium(0) nanoclusters were prepared by a two step procedure: incorporation of Pd2+ ions into the zeolite-Y by ion-exchange followed by the reduction of Pd2+ ions in the supercages of zeolite-Y with sodium borohydride at room temperature. Zeolite confined palladium(0) nanoclusters are stable enough to be isolated as solid materials and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, HRTEM, SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and N-2 adsorption technique. These nanoclusters are isolable, redispersible a...
