Ammonia borane (H3N center dot BH3, AB) is one of the promising hydrogen storage materials due to high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6% wt), high stability in solid state as well as in solution and nontoxicity. The methanolysis of AB is an alternative way of releasing H-2 due to many advantages over the hydrolysis such as having high stability against self releasing hydrogen gas. Here we review the reports on using various noble or non-noble metal(0) catalysts for H-2 release from the methanolysis of AB. Ni(0), Pd(0), and Ru(0) nanoparticles (NPs), stabilized as colloidal dispersion in methanol, are highly active and long lived catalysts in the methanolysis of AB. The catalytic activity, lifetime and reusability of transition metal(0) NPs show significant improvement when supported on the surface of solid materials. The supported cobalt, nickel, copper, palladium, and ruthenium based catalysts are quite active in H-2 release from the methanolysis of AB. Rh(0) NPs are highly active catalysts in releasing H-2 from the methanolysis of AB when confined within the void spaces of zeolite or supported on oxide nanopowders such as nanosilica, nanohydroxyapatite, nanoalumina or nanoceria. The oxide supported Rh(0) NPs can provide high activity with turnover frequency values as high as 218 min(-1) and long lifetime with total turnover values up to 26,000 in generation of H-2 from the methanolysis of AB at 25 degrees C. When deposited on carbon the bimetallic AgPd alloy nanoparticles have the highest activity in releasing H-2 through the methanolysis of AB. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.

Ammonia borane as hydrogen storage materials AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-04) Ammonia borane is an appropriate solid hydrogen storage material because of its high hydrogen content of 19.6% wt., high stability under ambient conditions, nontoxicity, and high solubility in common solvents. Hydrolysis of ammonia borane appears to be the most efficient way of releasing hydrogen stored in it. Since ammonia borane is relatively stable against hydrolysis in aqueous solution, its hydrolytic dehydrogenation can be achieved at an appreciable rate only in the presence of suitable catalyst at roo...
PEM fuel cell degradation effects on the performance of a stand-alone solar energy system ÖZDEN, Ender; Tarı, İlker (Elsevier BV, 2017-05-04) After comparing fresh and degraded performances of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) based components of a hydrogen cycle with the help of computational fluid dynamics simulations, recently established stand-alone solar energy system producing hydrogen for energy storage is investigated focusing on the effects of degradation of fuel cells on the overall performance of the system. A complete model of the system has been developed using TRNSYS, and a degraded PEM Fuel Cell Subsystem has been incorporated int...
Hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane using cobalt-nickel-phosphorus (Co-Ni-P) catalyst supported on Pd-activated TiO2 by electroless deposition Rakap, Murat; Kalu, Egwu Eric; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01) Catalytically active, low-cost, and reusable transition metal catalysts are desired to develop on-demand hydrogen generation system for practical onboard applications. By using electroless deposition method, we have prepared the Pd-activated TiO2-supported Co-Ni-P ternary alloy catalyst (Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2) that can effectively promote the hydrogen release from ammonia-borane aqueous solution. Co-Ni-P/Pd-TiO2 catalysts are stable enough to be isolated as solid materials and characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX. ...
Fundamentals of hydrogen storage processes over Ru/SiO2 and Ru/Vulcan ASLAN, MUSTAFA YASİN; Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2019-07-12) Hydrogen adsorption and desorption over Ru/SiO2 and Ru/Vulcan are investigated in terms of hydrogen storage and release characteristics by both dynamic and static experiments. Ru particle dispersions as a function of metal loading were determined by HR-TEM and volumetric chemisorption experiments. Vulcan was more accommodating for spillover hydrogen than SiO2. High Ru dispersions, i.e., small particle sizes, favored the amount of hydrogen spillover to Vulcan, as revealed by temperature programmed desorption...
Experimental investigation of CO tolerance in high temperature PEM fuel cells DEVRİM, YILSER; Albostan, Ayhan; Devrim, Huseyin (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-04) In the present work, the effect of operating a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) with different reactant gases has been investigated throughout performance tests. Also, the effects of temperature on the performance of a HT-PEMFC were analyzed at varying temperatures, ranging from 140 degrees C to 200 degrees C. Increasing the operating temperature of the cell increases the performance of the HT-PEMFC. The optimum operating temperature was determined to be 160 degrees C due to th...
