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, magnetically isolable, and recyclable catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with an unprecedented turnover frequency (TOF, calculated on the basis of the total amount of Pd) of 254 mol H-2 (mol Pd min)(-1) at 25 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The reusability tests reveal that Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4 are still active in the subsequent runs of hydrolysis of ammonia borane providing 100% conversion. Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4 provide the highest catalytic activity with a TOF value of 198 mol H-2 (mol Pd min)(-1) in the 10th use in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane as compared to the other palladium catalysts. The work reported here also includes the kinetic studies depending on the temperature to determine the activation energy of the reaction (E-a = 52 +/- 2 kJ/mol) and the effect of catalyst concentration on the rate of hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane, respectively.

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...

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...
Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanosilica: Highly active and long lived catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane
Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2016-02-01)
Nanosilica stabilized rhodium(0) nanoparticles (Rh(0)/nanoSiO(2)), in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate impregnated on the surface of nanosilica, are active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. Monitoring the hydrogen evolution enables us to follow the kinetics of nanoparticles formation. The resulting sigmoidal kinetic curves are analyzed by using the 2-step mechanism of the slow, continuous nucleation and autocatalytic surface g...

Herein, we developed a precursor approach toward the design of a titanium nitride (TiN)/silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanocomposite with an activated carbon monolith as a support matrix forming a highly micro-/mesoporous component to be used as a Pt support for the catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a model reaction. The experimental data demonstrated that the amorphous Si3N4 matrix, the strong Pt-TiN nanocluster interaction and the synergistic effects between the three components contributed t...

Akbayrak, Serdar; TONBUL, YALÇIN; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2017-06-05)
Highly efficient dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) at room temperature was achieved using palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Pd-0/CeO2) as catalysts. Pd-0/CeO2 was prepared by 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 was isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques. The catalytic activity of ...
