Addressed herein is the preparation, characterization and the catalytic use of zeolite confined rhodium(0) nanoclusters in the methanolysis of ammonia-borane. Rhodium(0) nanoclusters; could be generated in zeolite-Y by a two-step procedure: (i) incorporation of rhodium(Ill) cations into the zeolite-Y by ion-exchange and (ii) reduction of rhodium(Ill) ions within the zeolite cages by sodium borohydride in aqueous solution, followed by filtration and dehydration by heating to 550 degrees C under 10(-4) Torr. Zeolite confined rhodium(0) nanoclusters are stable enough to be isolated as solid materials and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD. SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, XPS and N-2 adsorption-desorption technique. The zeolite confined rhodium(0) nanoclusters are isolable, bottleable, redispersible and reusable as an active catalyst in the methanolysis of ammonia-borane even at low temperatures. They provide exceptional catalytic activity with an average value of TOF = 380 h(-1) and unprecedented lifetime with 74,300 turnovers in the methanolysis of ammonia-borane at 25 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The work reported here also includes the full experimental details of the collection of a wealth of previously unavailable kinetic data to determine the rate law, and activation parameters (E-a, Delta H-not equal and Delta S-not equal) for the catalytic methanolysis of ammonia-borane.

Nanoceria supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles as catalyst for hydrogen generation from methanolysis of ammonia borane
Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-05)
This work reports the preparation and catalytic use of nanoceria supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles, Rh(0)/nanoCeO(2), as catalyst for hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. Rh(0)/nanoCeO(2) was in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate on the surface of nanoceria during the catalytic methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The results of analysis using PXRD, TEM, STEM-EDS, XPS, SEM, SEM-EDX, N-2 adsorption-desorption and ICP-OES reveal that rhodium(0) nano...
Palladium doped perovskite-based NO oxidation catalysts: The role of Pd and B-sites for NOx adsorption behavior via in-situ spectroscopy
Say, Zafer; Dogac, Merve; Vovk, Evgeny I.; Kalay, Yunus Eren; KIM, Chang Hwan; LI, Wei; Ozensoy, Emrah (Elsevier BV, 2014-07-01)
Perovskite-based materials (LaMnO3, Pd/LaMnO3, LaCoO3 and Pd/LaCoO3) were synthesized, characterized (via BET, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and TEM) and their NO (x= 1,2) adsorption characteristics were investigated (via in-situ FTIR and TPD) as a function of the nature of the B-site cation (i.e. Mn vs Co), Pd/PdO incorporation and H-2-pretreatment. NO adsorption on of LaMnO3 was found to be significantly higher than LaCoO3, in line with the higher SSA of LaMnO3. Incorporation of PdO nanoparticles with an a...
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on silica-coated cobalt ferrite: A highly active, magnetically isolable and reusable catalyst for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Akbayrak, Serdar; KAYA, MURAT; Volkan, Mürvet; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-05)
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on silica-coated cobalt ferrite (Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4) were in situ generated during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, isolated from the reaction solution by using a permanent magnet and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, TEM-EDX, XPS and the N-2 adsorption-desorption techniques. All the results reveal that well dispersed palladium(0) nanoparticles were successfully supported on silica coated cobalt ferrite and the resulting Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4 are highly active, magnetica...
Iridium(O) nanoparticles dispersed in zeolite framework: A highly active and long-lived green nanocatalyst for-the hydrogenation of neat aromatics at room temperature
TONBUL, YALÇIN; Zahmakıran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-27)
The complete hydrogenation of aromatic molecules is one of the key transformation employed in the synthetic and petroleum chemistry. Described herein is a new catalytic nanomaterial for the hydrogenation of neat aromatics under mild conditions. A novel nanocatalyst, consisting of iridium(O) nanoparticles stabilized by zeolite with EAU framework could reproducibly been prepared from the reduction of iridium(III)-exchanged zeolite in an aqueous sodium borohydride solution at room temperature and characterized...
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated CoFe2O4 as highly active, magnetically isolable and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane
Manna, Joydev; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2017-07-05)
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on cobalt ferrite (Pd degrees/CoFe2O4) are found to be highly active catalyst, providing an unprecedented catalytic activity with a turnover frequency of 290 min(-1) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. However, the initial catalytic activity of Pd degrees/CoFe2O4 catalyst is not preserved after the reuse of the catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. The stability of the catalyst is improved by using the pol...
