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 nucleation and autocatalytic surface growth steps of the formation of rhodium(0) nanoparticles. Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) could be isolated and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques including ATR-IR, PXRD, TEM, XPS, SEM, SEM-EDX and ICP-OES. The results reveal that rhodium(0) nanoparticles are highly dispersed on the surface of nanoalumina. The particle size of Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) increases with the initial rhodium loading of nanoalumina. Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) is highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of AB providing an exceptional initial turnover frequency of TOF= 218 min(-1) at 25.0 +/- 0.5 degrees C, which is the highest value ever reported for rhodium catalysts in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane.

Ceria supported rhodium nanoparticles: Superb catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Tonbul, Yalcin; Özkar, Saim (2016-12-05) We investigated the effect of various oxide supports on the catalytic activity of rhodium nanoparticles in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Among the oxide supports (CeO2, SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2) ceria provides the highest catalytic activity for the rhodium(0) nanoparticles in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Rh-0/CeO2) were prepared by the impregnation of rhodium(III) ions on the surface of ceria followed by their reduction ...
Nanoalumina supported palladium(0) nanoparticle catalyst for releasing H-2 from dimethylamine borane KARABOĞA, SEDA; Özkar, Saim (2019-09-01) Palladium(II) 2,4-pentanedionate, impregnated on alumina nanopowder, was reduced by dimethylamine borane (DMAB) forming Pd(0) nanoparticles (NPs) at room temperature. Pd(0) NPs could be isolated from solution and characterized by ATR-IR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and BET. The results obtained from TEM images reveal the formation of palladium(0) nanoparticles on gamma-alumina, having a mean particle size of 7.1 +/- 2.6 nm. Alumina supported Pd(0) NPs with various metal loadings were employed as catalyst in ...
Cobalt ferrite supported platinum nanoparticles: Superb catalytic activity and outstanding reusability in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2021-08-15) In this work, platinum(0) nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of magnetic cobalt ferrite forming magnetically separable Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, which are efficient catalysts in H-2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Catalytic activity of Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles decreases with the increasing platinum loading, parallel to the average particle size. Pt-0/CoFe2O4 (0.23% wt. Pt) nanoparticles have an average diameter of 2.30 +/- 0.47 nm and show an extraordinary turnover frequency of...
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...
